Fixed asset categories catalog

A fixed asset category is a class of fixed assets that share common characteristics. For example, fixed assets can have such categories as Land, Buildings, Equipment, or Vehicles.

In 1C:Drive, fixed asset categories are used to classify fixed assets. If template-based accounting is enabled, to record fixed asset transactions, you can set up a separate account for each fixed asset category.

1C:Drive stores all fixed asset categories in the Fixed asset categories catalog. It is available if the Use fixed assets checkbox is selected in Settings > Company, under Other.

1. Go to Company.
2. Under Fixed assets, click Fixed asset categories.

In this catalog, you can:

• Create fixed asset categories
• Create groups of fixed asset categories
• Edit fixed asset categories
