Control accounts for fixed and intangible assets

1

Dear @lubos, dear All,

I don’t understand why, under fixed and intangible assets, it is possible to set specific accounts, through Control Account, in which all the amortisations and depreciations should go and even to set a specific amortisation/depreciation P&L account but it is not possible to divide the main costs (or Fixed Assets, at cost) into specific Control Accounts.

Am I missing something in the setup?

Thanks a lot

I vaguely remember something like what you described, but when I checked it turns out that it’s possible:

The capability to use custom control accounts for acquisition cost of assets has been in the program since 2016. Control accounts for accumulated depreciation or amortization were added more recently, in April 2020.

Thanks… solved. I didn’t find out that there were two different Control Account categories one for the asset at cost and another for amortization and depreciation. In the end, on this topic, Manager is even more flexible than my actual needs.
