Running a Sage Fixed Assets Link

Before you run a general ledger link, you should have performed the following tasks:

• Make sure that the G/L Expense Account Number and G/L Accumulated Account Number have been entered for every asset included in your posting.

• Calculate depreciation for the period you want to post. Typically, users post depreciation amounts once a month. Calculate depreciation by selecting the Depreciate command from the Depreciation menu. Calculate depreciation through the posting date, making sure to select the depreciation book you use for financial reporting (typically the Internal book). Run and review the report for all assets to be included in your output file.

To run a general ledger link

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select Links/Depreciation Links from the menu bar.
   • Select Links/Asset Addition Links from the menu bar.

Note: Asset addition links allow you to create assets in Sage Fixed Assets—Depreciation. The asset information is sent to Sage Fixed Assets—Depreciation as you enter invoices and/or purchase orders. For information on running an asset addition link, see the Sage Fixed Assets Links Guide.

Note: If you have selected a favorite Sage Fixed Assets link, you can select the link directly from the Links menu.

2. Select the link that you want to run. The system displays the Sage Fixed Assets Link window for the selected general ledger link.

3. Complete the Sage Fixed Assets Link window, and then click the Preview button to view the G/L Posting report. This is a required step.

4. Click the Post button to run the general ledger link.
