Use this form to create, view, modify, and delete additions for the fixed asset that is selected in the form. An addition is considered part of a fixed asset, but is not a separate asset. Typically, an addition is maintenance or an improvement for a fixed asset, such as a paint job, and is related to a write up adjustment. For example, an extra battery for a laptop is an addition to the laptop fixed asset.
You can use this form to keep track of additions separately, although they are still considered part of the asset. If the fixed asset number changes, all additions are still associated with the fixed asset. If you delete a fixed asset, the additions for that asset also are deleted.

Tasks that
use this form
Example
When reviewing purchases for the previous month, you see an invoice in the amount of 2,000 for a front-end loader for an existing forklift. A write up adjustment transaction was entered for the forklift in the amount of 2,000. This increased the net book value of the forklift.
To track the make, model, serial number, and other details for the front-end loader, you enter an addition in the form. This is for tracking and informational purposes only; the write up adjustment was posted already, and this addition does not increase the service life of the forklift.

If an addition does increase the service life of a fixed asset, you must modify the field value in the form. |
