These would be good extensions to the functionality proposed:
Quote:- set date of purchase
- set target book value to retire the asset
- set no of years in use (after purchase) to retire the asset
- set total maintenance cost to date to retire the asset
These could be additional fields in the fixed asset master - date of purchase is already there. I am sure each business may have different parameters/policy in this area and it would be very difficult to have a one size fitting all.
It would be good also to be able to implement a log of maintenace costs as entered through AP supplier invoice entry that would then show against the asset inquiry screen - what work was done, what dates etc when the work was done by an external contractor. I am thinking that this would be flagged as a potential fixed asset maintenance when a particular general ledger account was selected for the coding of the invoice - and that a further analysis of the GL entry would be required to select the asset involved.
Would also need to be able to enter work done into a log where the work was done internally by the company's own maintenance team.
I would need sponsorship to have a crack at the above.
