ERPNext
Fully open-source ERP that can be self-hosted at no licence cost or bought as a hosted service, with its largest user base in India.
The fixed asset register and its depreciation runs — capitalisation, useful life, disposals, revaluation — and in some systems the maintenance of physical plant as well. Worth establishing which of those two a vendor means, because both are sold under this name.
Stackmark rates Aptean ERP’s asset management as moderate: offered by the vendor, with a narrower scope than its core modules.
The tier is read from the vendor’s own documentation, cited below, and says how the module is delivered — not how well it works for a given company. That is what the demonstration questions are for.
Can one asset carry separate books for statutory, tax and IFRS depreciation, and post each to a different ledger?
How is a mid-life change handled — impairment, revaluation, a revised useful life — and does it restate prior periods or only adjust forward?
Can construction-in-progress accumulate costs from purchase orders and project time before it is capitalised?
Does the maintenance side exist as a real module here, or is asset management only the finance register?
Other profiled systems whose records rate asset management as core. Alphabetical; a listing is a documented fact, not a recommendation.

The previous generation of SAP’s core ERP, still in production at many large enterprises. Its approaching end of mainstream maintenance is what drives most S/4HANA projects.
A single-tenant S/4HANA instance that keeps the extension and customisation freedom of the on-premise product while SAP hosts it. The usual destination for large existing SAP estates.
