Asset.Desk Lifecycle management
budget control
Control all expenses and costs incurred using the specified budget
With the powerful "Budget Control" module, all expenses and costs that Asset.Desk accumulate at any point, control over given budgets.
These include:
- the expenses for order items in purchasing
- the payment amounts for contracts
- recurring costs from automatic cost allocation
- and all cost entries in the object books of equipment, furniture, services and software licenses.
You define budgets in Asset.Desk stating the investment number, company code, cost center, budget values and validity periods.
Always informed with the budget evaluation:
How is the budget reserved and consumed, how much budget is left?
budget evaluation you are always informed how much of a budget item has been reserved by cost estimates or has already been used up by costs incurred. Of course, you always have an eye on the remaining budget in terms of value and can better plan further expenses.
The status of the percentage consumption of a financial volume is also displayed graphically. For each budget line, you get all the details of which expenses in purchasing, which payments in contract management or which cost entries in the object books contribute to the consumption of the budget. In this way you remain in control of the cost situation in the defined period and can always react in good time.
Procurement
Order via the module "Asset.Desk Procurement" something and also use the "budget control" module, then you can assign the costs to a budget when entering an order item and thus reserve a cost estimate in the amount of the order value.
When the incoming delivery is booked, the budget is then debited in the amount of the actual delivery value. If the financial volume is exceeded, the user will of course be alerted.
Contract Management
In Asset.Desk you can also combine the modules "Budget Control" and "Contract Management“ Assign a budget to a payment plan. All payments are then offset against the respective budget item.
Employee and object assignment
With the "Budget Control" module, you can assign a standard budget to each employee and each asset or service, individually or several at once (en bloc).
When creating a new object book entry, the standard budget is suggested. So you can always decide which financial volume will ultimately be used to offset any costs incurred.
By saving the object book entry, the allocated budget is debited.
Recurring costs and distribution key
In a similar way, budgets can also be entered for recurring costs and distribution keys. Here, too, the selected and set budget item is debited when the object book entry has been created.
Import via csv file
Budgets do not have to be created manually! The great thing: Budgets with budget values and validity periods that you may maintain in a previous system/third-party system can also be easily exported from a csv file Asset.Desk import.
You need to enable the Budget Control module in Settings and purchase a separate license for use. Just ask unseren Sales!
With the new version 8.10.9 of Asset.Desk we introduce the “Budget Control” module. With the powerful new module, all expenses and costs that Asset.Desk accumulate at any point, control over given budgets. This includes the expenses for order items in purchasing, payments for contracts, recurring costs and all cost entries in the object books for devices, furniture, service objects and licenses.
You first define your budgets with investment numbers, company code, cost center, budget values and validity periods.
In Purchasing, you can assign a budget to an order item when you enter it, and thus reserve the budget in the amount of the order value. When the delivery is received, the budgets are then debited in the amount of the delivery value. If a budget is exceeded, the user receives a notification.
A budget can be assigned to a payment plan in contract management. All payments are then shown for the respective budget. You are always informed whether the budget is still sufficient or where a budget may already have been exhausted.
With this module, you can assign a standard budget to each employee and each object, individually or en bloc. When creating a new object book entry, the standard budget is suggested. You decide which budget is ultimately used. Saving the object book entry will debit the allocated budget.
In a similar way, budgets can also be entered for recurring costs and distribution keys. Here, too, the selected budget is charged when the object book entry has been created.
Budgets do not have to be created manually; Budgets with budget values and validity periods that you may maintain in a source system can also be imported from a csv file.
With the new budget evaluation you are always informed how far your budgets are reserved and used and how much budget is still left. You can see the status of the percentage consumption of a budget directly in a bar graph. For each budget line, you get all the details of which expenses in purchasing, which payments in contract management or which cost entries in the object books contribute to the consumption of the budget. In this way you remain in control of the cost situation in the defined period and can always react in good time.

Inventory tags to identify all assets
The inventory number is the unique identifier in asset management and is in Asset.Desk flexibly definable. For example, number ranges can be defined for each object type and prefixes and postfixes can be added. The inventory label printing function simplifies inventory and supports other processes, such as the helpdesk or facility management, by clearly labeling your assets. When taking inventory with a mobile device, radio frequency scanning (RFID) is supported in addition to 2D scanning via barcodes. More detailed information can be found in the section Mobile.
Analysis of all costs incurred
The "Object book" function allows you to record cost entries for an individual device, for a software license, for a piece of furniture or for an employee and to keep accounts of the costs incurred. In this way, you can allocate repair, service and other costs to an asset or a person based on their cause and evaluate them based on cost centres. Even the allocation of software license costs, for example, is no problem with ITAsset Management. Graphical and tabular evaluations in the cost analysis provide information about the distribution of costs in the company. All costs can be traced according to origin. For example, you can see at a glance which department caused the most helpdesk costs in the past quarter or what proportion of the total costs are maintenance costs.
All reports and cost analyzes can be exported and printed out directly. In this way you create the basis for a detailed allocation of services to cost centers and company codes (clients).
