This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes. You can quickly convert purchased items to fixed assets and track assets by custodian, department, and location. You can also view depreciation and transaction history, calculate depreciation, dispose of assets, and assign bonuses and other allowed VAT benefits to depreciate assets. It is also possible to create an import scenario for importing fixed assets. ## Search line in list window If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view. There are two types of search fields: + White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or **%** and get different results: + space: the result contains the words in any order, + **%**: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the **%** functions as a wildcard as well. + Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column. ## The table toolbar
Button Description
Actions

Provides the following menu commands, which you can click to invoke actions:

  • Dispose: Opens the Disposal parameters dialog box, which you use to set up disposal parameters and dispose of the asset. The asset status is set to Disposed. You can dispose of assets with the Active status only.

  • Reverse disposal: Opens the Reverse disposal information dialog box, which you use to reverse the disposal of the asset. The status of the asset is changed from Disposed to Active. This command is available for only disposed assets.

  • Suspend: Suspends depreciation of the asset. The asset status is set to Suspended. You can suspend assets with the Active status only.

  • Unsuspend: Opens the Suspend parameters dialog box, which you use to set up the financial period since that the depreciation for the asset will be resumed. The status of the asset is changed from Suspended to Active. This command is available for only suspended assets.

  • Reverse: Reverses asset disposal to the time when the asset was put into service. You can reverse assets with the Active status only.

  • Calculate depreciation: Calculates depreciation through the entire life of an asset. You can view the calculated amounts on the Depreciation history tab in the Calculated column.

    Note

    No transactions are generated with the Calculate depreciation action. To depreciate an asset, use the Calculate depreciation (FA502000), in which you can depreciate the asset or assets through the specified period.

Basis

The depreciable basis, which is the amount that is allocated over the useful life of the asset.

This is a system-generated value; the amount of the depreciable basis depends on the depreciation method applied to depreciate the asset. For some methods, the basis can be equal to the acquisition cost minus the salvage amount. Also, you can adjust the basis amount based on the percentage of business use and the bonus amount.

You can view the document on this tab only if the fixed asset accrual account and corresponding subaccount have been specified on the **Document details** tab of the [Purchase invoices (AP301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/purchase-invoices-ap301000/index.md) window when the invoice was created.

Each of the transactions might include multiple quantities of an item that can be converted into fixed assets as individual assets or components of the current asset.
