What is the Asset Register page for?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/asset-register
Every company's fixed assets in one register, mirrored from each Xero organisation's Fixed Assets module — cost, accumulated depreciation and net book value per asset, with the group totals Xero has no view of. Xero stays the book of record: depreciation is run and assets are disposed there, never here. The tabs add what a group needs around it: whether every organisation's asset types are set up the same, the fixed-asset movement note per financial year, the tie-out of the register to each balance sheet, bills coded to a fixed-asset account that have no asset yet, and the vehicle register. You enter: Which Xero lines are one physical asset (Group as one asset) and which small items are tracked as one line (Pool as one line), and a name for the group or pool; On Reconcile: a bill awaiting capitalisation posted to Xero as one draft asset or one per line; each organisation's asset types mapped onto the group-wide categories; On Asset type parity: which organisation is the benchmark, per type where one organisation's set-up is the right one. Saral fills: The register itself, from Sync from Xero: every registered, draft and disposed asset per organisation, its type, dates, cost, depreciation and book value; Xero's own disposal figures for a disposed asset; The headline figures — cost, accumulated depreciation, net book value, and how many companies are included — and a warning naming any organisation whose Xero connection predates the fixed-assets permission, whose assets are not in the list; The FY schedule from Xero's balance sheet at each year-end (cost and depreciation brought forward and carried forward are read, never recalculated; additions and disposals are split from the register by date), and the register-to-balance-sheet tie-out per company; The vehicle register's HP, operating-lease, owned and insurance views as filters over the one vehicle table Fleet owns. It produces: The fixed asset register as Preview, PDF or Excel — one line per Xero entry, cost, depreciation and NBV as formulas, a logical asset's lines carrying its Saral code; Draft assets in Xero for bills awaiting capitalisation; the fixed-asset movement note the statutory accounts and the audit file read. Where the settings live: Which organisations are connected, and with which permissions, is Settings → Data & integrations → Xero sync & coverage; reconnecting Xero from the warning on this page adds the fixed-assets permission. The group-wide asset categories are mapped on the Reconcile tab. Vehicles are added and their plate, make, status and driver kept on Fleet; the Vehicle register here reads that one table. Depreciation methods, rates and disposals are Xero's own settings.
