Before you can work with Fixed Assets, you need to define a few things:
The table below has links to more information. After you set those things up, you can start various activities. For more information, see Fixed Assets.
You can record fixed asset transactions in the Fixed Asset G/L Journal or Fixed Asset Journal pages, depending on whether the transactions are for financial reporting or for internal management. Help for Fixed Assets only describes how to use the Fixed Asset G/L Journal page.
When you enable a fixed asset activity in the G/L Integration section on the Depreciation Book Card page, the Fixed Asset G/L Journal page is used to post transactions for the activity.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
