The Fixed Asset Defaults option is used to create the default settings for the Fixed Assets Module, and must be completed before any Fixed Asset Groups or Fixed Assets can be created. It is a "once off" procedure; however, the settings can be changed at a later date should the user wish to do so. Default values include the integration details, how data is displayed and other default actions that you prefer.
1. Select the Fixed Assets Defaults Selection from the Maintenance Menu.
2. Once you have made this choice you will be presented with the Fixed Asset Defaults dialogue box, which will allow you to change the defaults for the Fixed Asset Register.
3. The current company selected will appear on the screen and allow you to set the defaults required for that particular company.
•Integration Select one or many of the other modules that you have installed and run with this company by using the mouse to click in the appropriate check box.
•Show Signs As Indicate how you prefer figures to be displayed in reports. If you have a General Ledger installed, these fields will be disabled and the Show Signs defaults set up in the GL for this company will be used instead.
