Find the asset
Use its serial, category, location and recorded history to identify the actual equipment.
Workflow / Asset cost control
Put the equipment record, service history and financial context beside the decisions the team needs to make.
01 / Establish the record
A cost discussion starts with knowing which asset is being reviewed and what belongs to it.
Use its serial, category, location and recorded history to identify the actual equipment.
Review the parts and relationships recorded against the unit before treating it as one interchangeable item.
Agree the relevant opening values and records when bringing existing equipment into the workspace.
02 / Connect the work
Keep the operational evidence available when reviewing the costs associated with the asset.
Review the work order, checks and parts recorded with the equipment’s service history.
Connect the purchase request, order and actual receipt instead of treating the order total as proof of receipt.
Retain the relevant certificates, documents and source evidence with their records.
03 / Review the position
Use the financial records and operating evidence together. The team remains responsible for its accounting policy and asset decisions.
Inspect the asset’s financial position and the supported cost records used in the review.
Use the available reports to explain the period and investigate a difference against its source records.
Bring service history, usage and cost context to the decision to maintain, retain or retire equipment.
No. Accounting policy, opening values and treatment of costs are agreed with the people responsible for your books. The workflow keeps the supporting records accessible.
Use the demonstration to follow representative asset, purchasing and maintenance records into the supported financial reports. Confirm the required reporting scope for your workflow.
Choose an asset with a known opening value, a service event and a purchased part. Bring the source records needed to reconcile the example.
Walk through the equipment, service history and costs your team wants to understand.
