Sicon Fixed Assets has many features that are above and beyond the basic facility within the Sage 200 base platform.
The Sicon Fixed Assets module is a simple module that integrates directly with Sage 200 and your accounting periods.
It provides a simple, quicker way of managing an asset register and posting depreciation, particularly for those who are currently using Excel spreadsheets.
However it also offers much more depth and wider functionality than the basic ‘out of the box’ Sage function that was ‘lifted and shifted’ from Sage 50 some years ago.
This includes a full change history and audit trail, Drill down for purchase invoices and full Asset revaluation & write off/disposal function (including partial disposal).

Sage 200 Fixed Assets FAQ's
-
How does the fixed assets reconcile to the nominal ledger?
In theory, if the nominal ledger account used had a starting point of zero and only had figures posted to them from the Fixed Assets modules via depreciation journals and no manual journals from within the nominal ledger itself, the two should agree. However, if the nominal accounts had balances brought forward before Fixed Assets was implemented and brought forward fixed assets were not added to the Fixed Assets module, and/or uses are allowed to enter journals within the nominal ledger manually to these accounts, then they may not agree.
-
What impact does the capitalisation date have on the asset in the register?
When the asset becomes usable/capitalised. You can only depreciate the asset on or after the Capitalisation date. This could be different from the date you wish to start depreciation your asset.
-
What does the balance sheet code for the year refer to?
This refers to what balance sheet code is credited each month on the depreciation journal.
-
Can an asset be transferred to new locations?
Yes, simply by going into Amend Fixed Assets Setup and changing the location. The change is stored in the transaction history for audit purposes.
-
Does the fixed asset module only close down after the nominal ledger?
When you do your normal month end routine in Maintain Accounting Periods, it is at that point that it does the fixed asset depreciation for the month, however, you can view the postings that the system will create in Fixed Assets reports, and forecast by period.
