How ERPNext asset management works in practice
An asset can be born from a purchase receipt — capitalised with its landed cost — or entered from your existing register during migration. From day one, depreciation posts automatically to the right cost centre, maintenance due-dates raise tasks for the team, and any movement between plants or people is recorded with a timestamp. At audit time the fixed-asset register, the depreciation schedule and the general ledger agree by construction, not by reconciliation.
Why plant and finance heads both like it
Maintenance sees schedules and history; finance sees value and depreciation — one record serves both. It connects to buying for capitalisation and accounting for postings inside the ERPNext platform. Explore our implementation service or the official ERPNext documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Which depreciation methods are supported?

Does it handle assets under construction?
Capital work-in-progress accounting accumulates costs and capitalises the asset when it goes live.
