See below for descriptions of each field in this panel.

  • image-20240325-145051.png Work Order: Work order number you want to Capitalize and Depreciate

  • 🔓 Purchase Price: Asset’s purchase price plus any upfit cost

  • 🔓 Residual Value: Estimated trade-in value

  • Current Value: Auto-calculates based on depreciation data entered

  • Depreciation Per Month: Auto-calculates based on depreciation data entered

  • 🔓 Depreciation Months: Total number of depreciation periods for the asset

  • 🔓 Months Remaining: Total number of depreciation periods remaining for the asset

When entering depreciation for partially depreciated assets, the amount already depreciated does not post to the asset's life costs—in other words, the cost is not retroactive.

This panel is driven by data submitted in the asset class code replacement tab. See Class Code Replacement Tab here. There are many ways or methods to calculate when it is time for assets or equipment to be replaced. Including this type of information in the asset file will assist with projections and budgeting and assist with reporting on reliability of the asset.
