To start using Exact Fixed Assets, you need to answer a few questions to define the fixed assets accounting system for the organization.

Start by defining the company package settings and user settings. They determine which options are available and how particular functions can be used. You should then create the master data. Master data is the basic data used by your entire fixed assets accounting system.

Choose or create a depreciation method to divide the costs of depreciation equally over a number of periods. You can change to another depreciation method before an asset's useful life has ended.

Besides depreciating your assets, you can also perform other actions involving your assets. These might include revaluing or regrouping your assets, keeping a maintenance record or selling assets. You can decide who performs these actions and when.

You can use overviews to find the latest information about your assets. The various overviews show your assets from all points of view.
