Messages Fixed Assets can show
Each message is quoted exactly as the product shows it. Most say what to do in the message itself; where one names a setting, the place to change it is the app’s own settings screen or Company settings.
That asset is not in this workspace.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.notFound
An asset needs a name.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.nameRequired
An asset needs a cost above zero. Everything else here is worked out from it.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.costMustBePositive
An asset needs a useful life in months, so there is something to spread the cost over.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.usefulLifeRequired
A declining balance asset needs an annual rate. Straight line does not.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.decliningRateRequired
Depreciation has already been posted on this asset, so its cost, residual value, life and method are fixed. Correct it by reversing those entries and entering the asset again.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.postedCannotBeRecosted
Depreciation for {month} has already been posted on this asset. It is not posted twice.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.monthAlreadyPosted
{name} is written down to its residual value. There is nothing left to depreciate.
accounting.fixedAssets.error.nothingLeftToDepreciate
{name} has already been disposed of. Reverse the disposal entry in the journal if that was wrong.
