PRINT COMPARATIVE BOOK DATA

Use this report to print a "real-time" snapshot of comparative Asset Master depreciation-related values for one book, a range of books, or all books. You can select up to 14 different types of depreciation data from the G/L Book Info and Other Books Info Asset Master screens to compare in side-by-side columns for each book.

You can print a detail report that prints data asset-by-asset for all data selection fields, or a summary report.

You can print the data for a range of (including one), or all, asset/item numbers, asset ("ownership") accounts, organizations, and/or projects. Use additional selection criteria to print project subtotals and to include the current period depreciation expense amount in the totals displayed when the selected field is either the Accum Depr or the Book Value column.  You can sort by account, by organization, by account/org, or by asset/item no. You can also use a page break option for all sorts other than by asset/item number.

The report prints data only for depreciable assets, but you can also print data for Active records, Inactive records, and/or Disposals.

This report is designed to emulate spreadsheets that print comparative data in an easy-to-read format using side-by-side columns in landscape mode on regular-sized paper (8½ x 11). You can print the data for six books on a single page. If you use additional optional books, the additional book columns will print on a second report page. 

Because the majority of options for the report already exist in decimal format, you cannot print the data values on the report in whole (rounded) numbers.

You can print this report at any time. Comparative depreciation-related data prints on a "real-time" basis exactly as the data exists in your Asset Master records at the time you run the report.

If you save the print parameters for this report, the selected range option, as applicable, will be identified in the Query table in the Asset/Item Number Range Option column.

From

Enter the beginning asset/item number for the range option or use Lookup to select one. Because the standard Lookup for the asset/item number is to the ASSET table, you may find that you have selected asset records for which the specified data does not exist or asset records that do not meet your other selection criteria. In this event, the data you expect to retrieve from the ASSET or ASSET_OTH_BK_DEPR table, as applicable, may not be selected.

If you save the print parameters for this report, the selected From values, as applicable, will be identified in the Query table in the From Asset No and To Asset Number columns.
