FAS - Fixed Asset Inventory

FAS Asset Inventory provides complete fixed asset inventory tracking and reconciliation capabilities for Sage MAS 500. Using state-of-the-art bar code technology, including Windows CE devices, FAS Asset Inventory creates and tracks physical inventories of assets quickly and efficiently ? helping companies gain tighter controls over their fixed assets. adsf With Asset Inventory, you'll have complete confidence in the accuracy of your fixed asset data. Because Asset Inventory simplifies the asset inventory process, you'll also have more time to focus on patterns of loss, theft and misallocation, and implement loss prevention policies.

With seamless integration to FAS Asset Accounting, the Asset Inventory module performs the physical inventory reconciliation process on-screen with existing asset data. Fixed asset data can also be collected using a bar code scanner and labels, and then matched up to financial records where discrepancies are identified. You're then prompted for decisions about discrepancies and can select automatic updates of your financial records.

Maintaining accurate physical inventories is essential to safeguarding fixed assets. The enforcement of loss prevention policies is aided further with the Check-In/Check-Out feature. You can constantly monitor mobile assets with this feature that shows who has possession of important assets, where they are, when they're scheduled to return and when they're overdue.

Having concise, up-to-the-minute records on such valuable items as laptop computers, cellular phones, PC components, medical equipment, and important files will significantly reduce your asset replacement costs. When combined with FAS Asset Accounting and the rest of Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200 or Sage MAS 500, Asset Inventory creates a powerful accounting management system to track your organization's fixed assets better than ever before.
