For assets to be depreciated their Date depreciated to date on the Masterfiles, Assets, Enquire, Balances and Activity tab must be before the current period's End Date found on the Setups, Asset Management, Options, Periods tab. The Current Period is shown on the Periods tab.
Therefore, do the following:
If Date depreciated to and End Date are the same, check the Current Period at Setups, Asset Management, Options, General Tab, or on the Periods tab.
If the End Date on the Periods tab for the Current Period is incorrect, change it on the Periods tab and click Ok or press F9 to save. You should now be able to run depreciation, no further steps are required.
If the Current Period field is not up to date, then an End of Period procedure needs to be run in Asset Management, do the following:
Check that any asset additions for a future period have not been activated (not critical but best practice).
Check all new assets and disposals for the incomplete period are properly recorded.
If required run depreciation for any assets added or updated in the previous step.
📌Note: the depreciation run does not need to be filtered. It will only depreciate assets that have not already been depreciated.
Check all monthly reports have been printed to pdf and filed correctly.
Ensure an archive has been taken. To do this, exit Asset Management and use File, Archive Current Company on the Attaché Accounts menu.
Open Asset Management again and transfer General Ledger entries using Transactions, General Ledger, Transfer.
Go back to Attaché Accounts and use General Ledger, Transactions, Other Modules, Post from Other Modules to post Asset Management entries to the correct GL period.
Reconcile your Asset accounts in the General Ledger to your Asset Management reports printed and filed as above.
If your Assets subledger reconciles to your General Ledger, then run period end in Asset Management by using Transactions, Asset Management, Period End.
