Section 179elections
Acquisition to depreciation ships ready to use. One step needs a named approval before the work moves on: Approve run (Controller / CFO).
Reconcile capex source evidence with the individual asset, cost, in-service date and assignment. Duplicate source events return the existing candidate; activating an asset follows the reviewed capitalization policy.
Create financial and tax books with distinct basis, method, convention and rule version. Designate the financial posting book and preserve calculated forecasts separately from posted history.
Calculate one candidate per entity, book and period using versioned inputs. Do not update posted accumulated depreciation from draft calculations. Repeated requests reuse the same run identity.
Independently approve the reviewed financial-book run. Tax Accountant independently approves tax-book work. Send a balanced journal proposal to accounting and mark financial completion only after its exact posted acknowledgment.
Reconcile workpapers to the reviewed tax books and asset roll-forward. Export the retained version; record filing only with external acceptance evidence. Keep prior snapshots when a return or book is corrected.
Open any depreciation run to see the roles that work on it, its process stages and its approvals on one page.

Sample totals per stage
Per period: opening cost, additions (new capitalizations), retirements, disposals, transfers, ending cost; opening accumulated depreciation, period depreciation, accumulated retired, ending accumulated; opening NBV, ending NBV. Drills by asset category × Department × Location × individual fixed asset. The Controller's monthly close artifact and the auditor's tie-out to the GL control account.
Forward-looking depreciation per Book by month for the next 60 months, computed from the current book schedules projection of every active asset book. Drills by Category and cost center. The CFO's planning input into the operating budget.
Year-to-date Section 179 deductions vs. annual cap (with phase-out reduction flagged when qualifying property exceeds the threshold), bonus depreciation taken vs. eligible base, and the projected remaining tax-year capacity. The Tax Accountant's planning view ahead of large Q4 capex.
Per tax year per entity: Part I (Section 179) total and per-asset detail, Part II (Bonus / Special Depreciation) total, Part III (MACRS GDS by recovery period) totals, Part III (ADS) totals, Part V (Listed Property — vehicles), Part VI (Amortization). The workpaper that reconciles to the filed return.
Per period: every asset disposal with disposal method, proceeds amount, net book value at disposal, gain loss, journal entry ref. Sum of gain loss per category; flags loss outliers above a configurable threshold for additional Controller review.
Per Category: count and original cost of assets by age bucket (0–1y, 1–3y, 3–5y, 5–10y, 10y+) and by NBV remaining bucket (≥75% NBV, 50–75%, 25–50%, 0–25%, fully depreciated). Surfaces aging fleet candidates for replacement planning.
TTM maintenance spend per fixed asset rolled up by Category and Manufacturer. Flags assets where TTM maintenance exceeds a configurable percentage of NBV — economic-life signal for retirement or replacement.
Compare the frozen expected population with observed assets, approved resolutions and open investigations, retaining evidence for internal and external review.

Click Get started to create your ERP.AI account, then use Proto to configure asset categories, employees, books and general-ledger mappings. Reconcile your opening register and review an acquisition, depreciation run and transfer before routine processing.
Yes. The same asset can have separate financial and tax books with distinct basis, methods and effective rules. A tax deduction does not automatically change financial carrying value. Only the designated financial book proposes the relevant general-ledger posting.
Calculation creates a proposal for review. After independent approval, the financial-book journal is sent to the connected accounting system. The run becomes posted when that exact journal is confirmed posted; a successful request submission alone is not enough.
Yes. Preserve the proposed destination, custodian and effective date for review. An approved future transfer changes the current assignment when its effective date arrives, while earlier count snapshots and movement history retain their original context.
Record its observed identifier, location and supporting evidence without inventing an existing asset reference. The asset accountant can then review intake or another resolution. Missing items also remain investigations until a separate authorized financial decision is made.
Give custodians their permitted count and assignment scope. They can record observations and attest responsibility while acquisition costs, tax amounts and other financial details remain protected through the underlying permissions.
No. The reviewer first applies the selected framework and its required tests. A posted impairment can establish a revised basis and remaining useful life for subsequent depreciation. The asset follows that reviewed policy instead of stopping solely because its status is Impaired.
Review the disposal date, proceeds and carrying basis with any final period charge. The operations coordinate to avoid conflicting or repeated effects. Independent approval and the confirmed general-ledger journal establish the financial completion while preserving the asset history.
Those classifications require different reviewed measurement and expense treatment. Keep the agreement and policy version with the lease records and configure the appropriate schedule. A generic asset-depreciation run cannot substitute for both classifications.
Use reviewed tax-rule versions for the entity, year and applicable asset cohort, with independently reviewed elections. Workpapers trace back to tax books and schedules. A generated Form 4562 snapshot is preparation material; any recorded filing needs its separate external evidence.
