Third Party Software: Fixed Assets

Barbara,

Hi! I know when we bought Vantage 5.2 three years ago, they did not have a
Fixed Asset module, although they were considering it. We just converted to
6.1, however, so perhaps that's changed. What version are you on? How are
you working around the international problem? Our controller may like the
integrated module.

Thanks,
Rebecca

We own the Vantage 'Fixed Asset' module.
We like it in many ways.

There are 2 concerns:
+ The program was created for international users and the depreciation
methods
are for them. We would like standard American methods of
deprecation.
+ You can not go back and make adjustments to assets after they have
been posted.
For example the cost is less than we thought yet we can not re-run
depreciation and re-calc.

Otherwise, we are glad to have it integrated with our
Jobs
POs
Invoice number against POs
Can enter insurance info (leased in under diff policy)
We can enter mileage and end date, etc for vehicles

Any recommendations for third party software for Fixed Assets? We currently
use Norming, and are considering switching to FAS.

Thanks!

We've used FAS for years. From the IT side very easy to deal with and load updates and depreciation schedules. The accounting people seem satisfied with it. Only hitch (and very slight at that) is the report writer which is Crystal based and loads DLLs that conflict with Vantage Crystal. Easily fixed by copying some of the Vantage related DLLs back and FAS reports still work OK. We've had this issue with several 3rd party packages that use Crystal for reporting so it's not the fault of FAS.

Yep, long time FAS user here as well. One benefit of still being on Vantage version 6.1? No DLL conflicts with the current version of "FAS Report Writer" (a.k.a. Crystal 8.5)

Thanks, Mike, Lydia, and Todd.

I have forwarded your emails on to my Controller. I'm sure he will feel
more confident making his decision now. Thanks again!
