The Asset Group module serves as the master data hub for creating and managing the classifications or categories for all of the company's fixed assets. This grouping is crucial for organizing assets, applying uniform depreciation policies per group, and for presentation in the financial statements (Balance Sheet).

The main page of this module displays a list of all fixed asset categories or groups that have been defined in the system.

2. Steps to Create a New Asset Group

From the Main View, click the [New] button to open the Add Asset Group form.
Step 2: Fill in Group Details
On the form that appears, fill in the required details:
Group Name: Enter a clear and specific category name (e.g., Production Machinery, Operational Vehicles, Office Equipment, Computers & Laptops).

Tips & Important Notes
The Asset Group you create here will become a mandatory selection when registering a new asset in the Asset List module.
A good and well-structured grouping from the beginning will greatly simplify the management and reporting of fixed assets in the future.
This is the first and most fundamental step in configuring and managing the Fixed Asset module.
