Fixed Assets Upgrade

Released 15 Nov 2025 — New Purchased Fixed Assets lets you track items, assign them, add barcodes, and automate sale/disposal accounting.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

We’ve released a major upgrade to the Fixed Assets module to make asset tracking and accounting more accurate and easier to manage.


1. New Purchased Fixed Assets (Purchase Master) View

  • New Purchase Master tab under Fixed Assets.

  • View all purchased assets with:

    • Serial / Asset ID

    • Purchase date and value

    • Depreciation %

    • Auto / Manual depreciation mode

    • Status and accumulated depreciation

  • Summary cards show: Total Assets, Total Purchased, Total Remaining, Active Assets, and Depreciation %.

2. Asset Details & Assignment

  • Each asset now has a dedicated details screen with:

    • Purchase info, remaining value, depreciation rate

    • Assigned user and location

    • Notes field for internal comments

    • File attachments (e.g., invoices, warranty, contracts)

  • System generates a unique Asset ID and barcode for every asset, which can be downloaded, printed, and attached to the physical item.

3. Selling Assets (Auto JVs)

  • New Sell action from the asset list.

  • When an asset is sold, NuMetric automatically:

    • Creates the cash sales invoice

    • Posts the journal entries to:

      • Remove asset cost

      • Clear accumulated depreciation (for auto-depreciated assets)

      • Record gain or loss on sale

      • Record the cash received

4. Disposing Assets (Auto JVs for Auto Depreciation)

  • New Dispose action with action date, reason, and notes.

  • For auto depreciation assets, NuMetric:

    • Removes the asset cost

    • Clears accumulated depreciation

    • Records any disposal loss

  • For manual depreciation assets, users still manage the journals manually.

5. Depreciation Handling (No Change in Method, Better Control)

  • NuMetric continues to use straight-line, prorated monthly depreciation.

  • Depreciation automatically stops once the asset is sold or disposed.
