Frequently Asked Questions

What depreciation methods are supported?
SmartAssets supports Straight Line (SL), Declining Balance (DB), and Sum-of-Years-Digits (SYD) methods. Each asset category can have a default method, and individual assets can override it. You can also configure residual value and useful life per asset.
How do asset transfers work?
Select an asset and initiate a transfer to a new department, location, or custodian. The transfer is recorded with the date, reason, and approving user. A complete transfer history is maintained for every asset, providing a full chain of custody.
How is disposal accounting handled?
When disposing of an asset, you enter the disposal date and sale price (if any). SmartAssets calculates depreciation up to the disposal date, determines the gain or loss, and generates the appropriate journal entries to remove the asset from your books.
Is there a complete audit trail?
Yes. Every action on an asset -- creation, modification, depreciation run, transfer, revaluation, and disposal -- is logged with the user, timestamp, and details. This audit trail is essential for financial audits and regulatory compliance.
Can I import my existing asset register?
Yes. SmartAssets supports CSV import with field mapping for asset details, accumulated depreciation, and location data. We provide an import template and validation to ensure data integrity during migration.
Does SmartAssets integrate with SmartBooks?
Seamlessly. Asset acquisitions, monthly depreciation, revaluations, and disposals all generate journal entries in SmartBooks. Asset values on the balance sheet are always in sync with the asset register.
