Fixed assets preferences (FA101000)
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
In this window, you can configure the Fixed assets workspace.
These settings are used to assign the
number series and special accounts used in the workspace, to set document
processing options, and to select the depreciation history view.
Before you can quickly convert purchased items into fixed assets, you should specify the
FA accrual account and FA accrual subaccount in
the Fixed assets preferences (FA101000) window.
This account and
subaccount will be updated by the purchasing transaction.
The account and subaccount that you specified in the Fixed assets preferences (FA101000) window will
be the default account and subaccount for all the transactions associated with converting
purchased items made by using the Convert purchases to assets (FA504500) window.
Also, this
account will be the default account for the transactions made on the
Reconciliation tab of the Fixed assets (FA303000)
window.
