Configuring the asset register settings
You can specify Asset Register settings for financial year details and how to calculate taxation and accounting depreciation for each client separately. These settings are saved for subsequent years.
You can only edit the Asset Register's financial year details in the year it was created so make sure these details are correct before rolling forward to a new year.
