Running a Budgetary Projection
For each fiscal year, it's easy to view the projected depreciation expense for one asset or for a group of assets. You can view the projected depreciation expense in two ways:
- Run a monthly projection, which shows the projected depreciation expense for each month in a single year.
The system displays the projection in the form of the Monthly Projection report and the Annual Projection report. These reports display the projection as a grand total of all assets selected for inclusion in the report. They do not display projections for individual assets, unless you run the report for only one asset.
To run a monthly budgetary projection
- Select Depreciation/Monthly Projection from the menu bar. The system displays the Report Definition window.
- Complete the Report Definition window, and then select the Run Report button. The system runs the projection and sends the results to the specified location.
Note: When you select the Other Date option button, and change the report date to another year, you get a monthly projection for that year.
- If you sent the report to the Window, view the Monthly Projection report. Print the report by selecting the Print icon, if desired, and then select the Close button to exit from the report window.
- Select the Close button to exit from the Report Definition window.
To run an annual budgetary projection
- Select Depreciation/Annual Projection from the menu bar. The system displays the Report Definition window.
- Complete the Report Definition window, then select the Run Report button. The system runs the projection and sends the results to the specified location.
- If you sent the report to the Window, view the Annual Projection report. Print the report by selecting the Print icon, if desired, and then select the Close button to exit from the report window.
- Select the Close button to close the Report Definition window.
