First, let us discuss “What is an ERP?” briefly. We mentioned it in our previous blog, so we can discuss it again. The ERP acronym stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP integrates core business processes such as finance, HR, manufacturing, etc. into a single system. It facilitates enhanced business efficiency, encourages business growth needs, provides versatile real-time decision support, reduces limitations in legacy systems, and provides a competitive advantage through quicker access to reliable and relevant information. Now we can discuss How to Handle and manage the entire lifecycle of the Fixed Assets with ERP Software.
According to Investopedia “A fixed asset is a long-term tangible piece of property or equipment that a firm owns and uses in its operations to generate income. Fixed assets are not expected to be consumed or converted into cash within a year. Fixed assets most commonly appear on the balance sheet as property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). They are also referred to as capital assets.”
Yes, That’s all Fixed assets. There are two general classifications of assets, of short-term assets and of fixed assets. Those that stay on the books for less than one year are short-term assets. Short-term assets include products such as cash and office supplies that are widely used in a short period of time. Fixed assets are those assets that have been in the books for more than a year. The IRS describes fixed assets as assets or facilities with an expected life of more than one year. Fixed Assets Management software is an important tool for managing the company’s assets, managing the entire lifecycle of fixed assets, and assessing the impact of financial choices.
