ERPNext on Asset management

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.

Every system offering asset management

01Coverage

Stackmark rates ERPNext’s asset management as core: built and sold by the vendor as part of the suite.

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.

Think this tier is wrong? Suggest a correction. It opens a public issue, prefilled with what we publish today.

02Questions for the demonstration

  1. Q1

    Can one asset carry separate books for statutory, tax and IFRS depreciation, and post each to a different ledger?

  2. Q2

    How is a mid-life change handled (impairment, revaluation, a revised useful life), and does it restate prior periods or only adjust forward?

  3. Q3

    Can construction-in-progress accumulate costs from purchase orders and project time before it is capitalised?

  4. Q4

    Does the maintenance side exist as a real module here, or is asset management only the finance register?

03Alternatives with core depth

Other profiled systems whose records rate asset management as core. Alphabetical; a listing is a documented fact, not a recommendation.
