Dashboard number cards

Asset Value

Sum of value after depreciation across all Assets.

In detail

This card sums the value after depreciation field across all Asset records, so it is the current book value of your fixed assets: cost less the depreciation posted so far. The demo assets cost Rs 1,40,000 together, and each monthly Depreciation Entry of Rs 1,235.54 reduces the card. It should agree with the fixed asset accounts less Accumulated Depreciation in the Balance Sheet; if it does not, a depreciation journal was probably posted by hand without the Asset record, or a schedule was not run.

Formula

Asset Value = Sum of value_after_depreciation on Asset, all records
