What is the pending asset type?

A pending asset type is a category assigned to assets that have been entered into the system but have not yet been finalized or fully processed as active assets. It helps organize pending assets based on what they are, such as equipment, vehicles, buildings, or infrastructure, before they are officially added to inventory. Using pending asset types helps streamline review, approval, and data entry processes.

For example, assets in governmental funds are required to report capitalization but are not required to report depreciation expenses while proprietary funds are required to report both capitalization and depreciation.

  • Use Capitalize Assets to move the asset cost from the expense account to a balance sheet account.

  • Use Depreciate Assets to allocate the cost of an asset over the life of the asset.

  • A report-only transaction is created for capitalization and depreciation based on the user-defined settings for the assigned asset types.
