Post depreciation Journal Entry

Post depreciation from an asset schedule when the month is ready, resulting in a depreciation journal entry for that asset.

Workflow

Step 1

Start in Bookkeeping > Fixed Assets > Register so registered assets and posting actions are visible.

Step 2

Confirm the asset row you want to post from appears in the register before opening it.

Step 3

Select the asset to review its details and depreciation schedule.

Step 4

Find the next unposted term in the schedule and confirm the amount, accumulated depreciation, and net book value.

Step 5

Use the Post action on the unposted term that should be recorded for the period.

Step 6

Confirm the posting date matches the depreciation term and the month you are closing.

Step 7

Check the true-up amount and term amount before deciding whether an adjustment is needed.

Step 8

Add a note when the true-up line needs context for reviewers or audit support.

Step 9

Post only after the date, amounts, and note match the depreciation entry you expect.

Make sure the selected asset, posting month, and journal-entry details are correct before you submit the posting.
