Monthly Depreciation

SOLVED

My predicessor said that we don't have to manually do anything for the depreciation to run each month.  Is that correct?

    Not here!  Each month we click on Depreciation, then Depreciate, then select which types of depreciation to calculate (we do book, tax, AMT, ACE and state each month, all at once) and the current period, and Run.  And then because Sage Fixed Assets isn't linked to our accounting software, we print the Sage Fixed Assets report "GL Ledger Posting", so we know what to book in our accounting system.  Hope that helps ...

    You have some selections to make before you click "OK", but once you do that your depreciation is posted -- in Sage Fixed Assets.  Very easy, but like I said, if you need to post it separately in your accounting system, then you must next click Reports, Standard Reports, General Ledger Posting, make some more selections print the resulting report and use that for your journal entry.  I tried, I can't insert "print screens" here, but if that would help you email me at [email protected].

    The depreciation would need to be run month by month by clicking on "Calculate Depreciation" from the left side (or you can click Depreciation, then Depreciate on the top menu). Fill in the information on the Depreciate screen, especially the period that you need to calculate depreciation for, to get the numbers for that month.

    Is that all I need to do to have the depreciation entry made?
