MAS 90 & Sage MAS 200 -
Asset Accounting Powered by FAS
In large or decentralized organizations, fixed asset management can pose
complex challenges in administration, access, user-specific
customization and system security. Compatibility with existing
accounting and business management software can be of equal concern.
The Fixed Asset Accounting module is the leading fixed
asset management software for medium-sized companies. Fixed Asset
Accounting combines acknowledged depreciation expertise and user
friendliness with the added power and functionality your situation
demands. It was developed to meet the needs of your business, providing
fast, dependable, customizable fixed asset management performance and
data security.
FAS provides the additional ability to execute partial
and whole transfers and disposals, conduct bulk disposals with automatic
gain/loss calculations and track transfer activity with as little as a
single keystroke.
Plus, it provides extra security features at the system
level, company level and user-defined menu levels, such as complete
audit histories on all changes made to the asset system. In addition,
SmartLists provide user-defined values for each asset descriptor,
ensuring a high level of consistency throughout the asset system.
Finally, when combined with the rest of Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200 or
Sage MAS 500, it
creates a powerful, reliable, easy-to-use, and secure total accounting
management system for your entire organization.
FEATURES:
Easy to Use
Fixed Asset Accounting provides asset templates to
help ensure that new assets can be created both quickly and
accurately. Assets can also be created by copying an existing asset.
This facility is very important for system usability.
Transfers and Disposals
With Fixed Asset Accounting, you can execute partial
and whole asset transfers and disposals individually to user-defined
depreciation schedules. For bulk disposals, the system also
automatically calculates gain/loss on individual assets.
Group Manager
Group Manager lets you
define groups of assets as you go. Definitions can be based on any
characteristic including type, location, custodian and acquisition
date. Depreciation, reporting, location change and disposal require
only a few keystrokes to implement.
Asset Templates
Templates provide an easy way to create a new asset.
When an asset is added, the selected template automatically fills
out the asset information, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
An unlimited number of assets can be created.
Asset Views
Asset
Detail View allows you to view all details of a single asset from
all seven books on a single screen. In Asset Group View, you can
work with and view multiple assets simultaneously.
Asset Images
Pictures of an asset,
purchase order, maintenance agreement, warranty, invoice and other
documentation can be scanned into the file and viewed on screen at
any time, providing a complete and readily accessible record of all
the asset data.
Asset Navigation and History
In addition to the
system's powerful query capabilities, it provides instant switching
between Main and Disposal functions, a complete audit trail of the
major events in an asset's life, and the facility for attaching
notes to record important details.
Extended Fields
Description fields can be up to 80 characters in
length, and extended user fields can accommodate up to 25
characters, affording optimal space for easy and complete asset
definition. Up to 100 characters can be entered for general ledger
account numbers.
Automatic Calculations
Fixed Asset Accounting automatically creates AMT and
ACE schedules using your choice of more than 20 methods of
depreciation including MACRS 150% and 200%, ACRS, Straight Line,
Modified Straight Line, Declining Balance and Sum-of-the-Years
Digits. Other automatic calculations available range from Full Month
Convention, Mid Quarter Convention and Half Year Convention to
Section 179, ITC, Gain/Loss, Salvage Value and Tax Preference
Amounts. The system also provides the flexibility to create
customized methods in each company.
Part of Sage MAS 90,
Sage MAS
200, and Sage MAS 500
FAS
Asset Accounting integrates with the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200
General
Ledger for comprehensive accounting management performance. And, for
even more integration, assets can be added automatically when
purchased or received, if used in conjunction with
Sage MAS 500 Accounts
Payable and Purchase Order modules. The assets automatically
transfer from the purchasing system into Fixed Asset Accounting
using an asset template based on the purchased item type. After
transfer, Fixed Asset Accounting can customize the asset
information, if necessary.
Custom Report Writer
More than 20 standard
reports are available, each allowing user-defined sort and range
criteria on all fields. You can also create custom reports with
built-in report helpers, produce custom consolidated reports that
let you "roll up" data without changing the underlying database and
specify totals-only reporting for standard reports.
Extra Security
The application can
assure complete security at user, user-defined menu, system and
company levels, protecting important or proprietary data from
unauthorized access or manipulation. This security feature also
includes fully controlled access to predefined SmartLists for fewer
data entry errors.

context-sensitive online help is always available. Furthermore,
customizable Help for online corporate guidelines can be easily
added.
