Contents of the Print Asset Master List Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print Asset Master List Screen.

Since there are more than 280 fields in an Asset Master record (excluding the unlimited number of user-defined fields), this report only lists a handful of basic Asset Master data. If you need to print a quick list that contains different data, you will need to create a custom report to meet your specific requirements.

You can print the Asset Master List with different formats and a number of different sort options. For all sort options, you can also choose to print the Total Cost amount (from the G/L Book Info tab on the Manage Asset Master Information screen or from the Manage Asset Cost Information screen.

Use this report to create different lists by including or excluding active/inactive records, depreciable/non-depreciable records, and/or disposals.

This report selection screen contains four blocks, as follows:

  • Identification: Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously-saved parameter ID.
  • Selection Ranges: Use the fields in this group box to specify the asset account, organization, record-added dates, asset/item numbers, and/ or timing selection criteria for the report.
  • Options: Use the check boxes in this group box to specify the depreciation and record status type(s) as selection criteria for the report, as well as whether to print the asset's cost for the G/L book on the report.
  • Sort By: Use this fields in this group box to specify the field by which to sort the records (by asset/item number, asset account, asset organization, acquisition fiscal year/period, date record added, or entry date, as well as to choose whether there should be a page break each time the selected sort criteria changes.
Note: The report from this screen is company-specific and will be available for use only by your company of login. If you have set up multiple companies in Costpoint, you can run the report on this screen for each company only by using the separate company login for each.

You can run the report on this screen only for your login company. If you have multiple companies, you cannot run the report from this screen for any company other than your company of login.

The Asset Master List provides a "snapshot" of existing asset data at the time you run the report. You can print this report at any time.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
