Book Depreciation Information Island

The values in the fields in this island will be used as default values when you create a new asset that belongs to this asset group. This makes it easier and less error-prone to create new assets.

Depreciation Period Specify a default depreciation period to use when creating a new asset that belongs to this group.
Post Depreciation as Job Entry

This is the default setting for all assets in this asset group but can be changed for each asset.

Tax Depreciation Information Island

Field Description
Asset Cost Factor

Enter the taxable value of the asset, which can be more than the cost price. This field allows you to adjust the taxable value.

It is independent from the other fields in the Tax Depreciation Information island.

Table Enter or select the Tax Depreciation Table name to use in the table-based depreciation.
Note: You cannot use the tax depreciation table in combination with the Years, First Year Factor, or Strict Yearly Limit fields.
Years Specify the number of years to depreciate the asset through straight line depreciation.
Yearly Percentage This field shows the yearly percentage according to the number specified in the Years field.
First Year Factor Enter the first year factor that balances the asset depreciation in the first year's limit. The value in this field extends the depreciation into an additional fiscal year in the end. The default value 100% indicates that there is no change to the amount.
First Year Percentage This field shows the first year percentage when the Yearly Percentage field is further restricted by the First Year Factor field for the first year only.
Strict Yearly Limit Specify whether the yearly percentage is set as a limit for each year. Delayed depreciation cannot be added on top of the yearly percentage. This field is deselected by default, which allows depreciation if the accumulated yearly depreciation do not exceed the accumulated yearly percentage.

Dimensions Island

The values in the fields in this island will be used as default values for Dimensions when you create a new asset that belongs to this asset group. This makes it easier and less error-prone to create new assets. See the Assets windows for more information about dimensions on an asset.

Access Level Island

Field Description
Access Level In this field, you can specify the name and description of an access level. You only have access to the current asset group if you have been assigned to this level or a level above this in the User Access Levels window. This access control ensures that when working with, for instance, an asset, you can only enter an asset group to which you have access, and you can only see the asset groups to which you have access. Please note that this access control model only applies if the standard access control configuration has not been changed in your Maconomy system. If it has, the access to asset groups may depend on other factors. For further information about the standard access control configuration and access control in a multi-company model, please see “Introduction to the Access Control System” in the Set-Up module. If no access level is specified, all users have access to the current asset groups.
