Acumatica Asset Management FAQ

Does Acumatica track fixed asset depreciation?

Yes — Fixed Assets manages the complete asset lifecycle from creation through depreciation to disposal, with a broad library of depreciation methods including country-specific options, plus additions, transfers, splits, and period close for the asset subledger.

Can Acumatica track equipment sold to customers as well as owned equipment?

Yes — Managing Equipment maintains a full record for each piece of equipment covering serial number, registration, warranty, owner, and location, whether it's owned by the company or was sold to a customer and needs ongoing service tracking.

Is Acumatica's asset management focused on maintenance scheduling?

Not primarily — Asset Lifecycle is by far the larger category versus Maintenance Management, so Acumatica's strength here is financial asset tracking such as depreciation and disposal rather than preventive-maintenance scheduling. Heavy maintenance needs may require a dedicated add-on.

Does Acumatica distinguish between equipment used internally and equipment tracked for customers?

Yes — Creating Target Equipment registers equipment tracked going forward for upkeep or warranty, whether company-owned or sold to a customer, while Resource Equipment separately tracks the tools technicians use to perform the work itself.
