Create a new asset

It is recommended to register every investment to an Asset (AST). Then it is possible to monitor costs, depreciations and revenues for the specific item. An AST can also be created for groups of assets. Typically for smaller investments. (It would be reasonable to have an AST for 'Servers', but maybe not for 'Dell XPG356 Server')

Create a new Asset

  1. To open the Assets (AST) application, find Finance in the RamBase menu and then Base registers. Click Assets to enter the AST application.

  2. Click the Create new asset icon in the bottom of the application.

  3. In the Create new asset popup, insert values in the fields:

    • Id - The id of the AST.

    • Name - The name of the AST.

    • Effective period - The accounting period for the ASTs to be valid from (YYYYMM).

  4. Click the OK button. The AST will now be set to status 1. It is still editable and needs to be activated in order to enable it for use.

  5. Add relevant information.

  6. Click the Activate finance asset option in the context menu. The AST will now be set to status 4 and is ready to be used.
