Edit records using Excel
Records are normally edited using the software's setup/edit screen, either one record at a time or in sequential order.
The editing screen:
          Performs data value testing
          Displays an immediate depreciation schedule.

But there may be times when you'd prefer to use Excel.

This 3 step procedure allows you to:
     1) Copy the master file to a spreadsheet, such as Excel.

     2) Edit records using all of the spreadsheet functions.
               Edit records
               Add records
               Delete records
               Fill down
               Sort
               Other Excel capabilities

     3) Copy records from the spreadsheet and paste back to/as the revised master file.
               The software verifies all data values and relationships, such as dates, are valid and compatible.



Allocate depreciation expense
Distribute one or more general ledger posting amounts to multiple branch, cost, revenue and other centers using one or more Allocation Methods maintained in the software.

You assign each Method a name that is meaningful to you, perhaps "SQ" to mean the Allocation Method is based on the amount of square feet occupied by a department.
Or "EMP" to allocate using the number of employees in each branch.

Each Method contains your chart of account branch numbers (or cost/revenue center numbers or ....) along with the number of units each contains, such as square feet, employee count and even your own assigned percentage. Any type of numerical values. To allocate a record, merely replace the branch portion of a general ledger account number with the Method name. The system will calculate the percentage being allocated to each branch based on number of units and create multiple posting records, each for smaller amounts that add up to the original.



User defined Alternative Recognition Methods
Consumption, Prepaid Services, Inventory Reduction, Subscriptions plus these additional recognition frequencies:
     •  Bi-monthly
     •  Quarterly
     •  Tri-annual
     •  Semi-annual
     •  Annual
     •  Irregular frequencies (e.g. take 20% in months 1 and 2, then nothing for 6 months, then 40% and 20%)
     •  Pre-determined amounts (e.g. take $10,000 in month 1, then $5,000 and then $2,000 for the rest of the year)
The system can recognize Cost based upon a count of Total Units reduced by Monthly units which are used or consumed in a given month.

Total Units might represent:
● Percent, where Total Units = 100
     Monthly Units are the percent of Cost to recognize in each month.
● Prepaid service, where Total Units might = Hours (such as 650 prepaid professional services)
     Monthly Units are the number of hours utilized or consumed.
     When the record is first entered to the system, "hours utilized" are likely to be unknown.
     Simply enter zero for Month1 Units. As "hours utilized" become known, enter the hours into the appropriate Monthly Units category.
● Inventory, where Total Units = Inventory Count (such as 2,950 widgets)
     Monthly Units are the count of inventory items removed.
     Inventory can refer to any physical count, including office supplies, such as prepaid ink cartridges and other expensive items retaining a value.
● Dollar amounts, where Total Units might = Cost
     Monthly Units are specific dollar amounts to recognize each month.
● Virtually any other type of numerical Units.

Monthly Units - Positive, negative or zero
•  Positive, to reduce Total Units remaining.
•  Negative, to increase Total Units remaining (typically to correct an error or return).
     When Monthly Units are negative:
          Remaining Units will be increased.
          Depreciation for the month will be negative.
•  0, meaning zero units were used in a month. No Depreciation will be recognized.
     Zero Monthly Units also allow Depreciation to be recognized other than monthly.
          Use zero Monthly Units to "skip" months, thus accommodating Quarterly, Bi-Monthly and other Depreciation frequencies.
