How the Fixed Assets reconciliation works in Zato
The two data sources that feed the Fixed Assets workpaper and how to troubleshoot missing figures.
The Fixed Assets workpaper uses two separate data sources. Understanding which source feeds which column helps troubleshoot missing figures.
How it works
- Closing book value as per asset schedule: This column is populated from the uploaded Depreciation Schedule. It captures movements and closing values from the schedule.
- Balance per General Ledger (GL): This column is populated from the Trial Balance (TB). The figures are taken directly from the TB, not from the depreciation schedule.
If GL movements are not appearing
If the Balance per GL column is empty or out of date, the Trial Balance may need to be re-uploaded:
- Navigate to Jobs, then Job Setup, then Chart of Accounts (CoA) Mapping.
- Click Upload Trial Balance to refresh the GL figures.
- Return to the Fixed Assets workpaper and verify the Balance per GL column has updated.
The reconciliation compares two independent sources. Always check which one is missing or outdated when troubleshooting. Re-uploading the Trial Balance refreshes GL balances across all workpapers, not just Fixed Assets.
