Balances By Category Report
The Balances By Category Report offers detailed Fixed Assets information summed up by categories defined by the district. The report can be set to run by Fiscal Year and can also be filtered by specific Facilities, Categories, and/or Disposition Codes. Once generated, the report lists data by each Category (and associated Capitalized Code).
1. From the Fixed Assets menu, click Balances By Category Report.
The Balances By Category Report screen displays with several options to generate the report.
2. Start by selecting the Fiscal Year from which you’d like to pull data. The Fiscal Year will default to the current year.
3. Select a Facility if you want your report to be restricted to one or specific facilities.
Notice that the pull-downs allow you to choose one, multiple, all, or none. You can also utilize the Check all visible and Clear selected links. For a quick search, use the Filter text box to begin typing the name or number of the facility. Note: These features are available on most pull-downs.
4. Select the categories to be displayed in the report from the Category pull-down.
5. Select the applicable Disposition Code(s) from the pull-down, such as Active, Sold, Stolen, etc.

7. Enter the corresponding codes to run the report based on account elements, such as a specific Fund, Function, Object, etc.
All of the fields shown on this screen are optional except the Fiscal Year. Depending on what information you need to see in the report, you can run the report with all fields blank. Note: Running the report blank may take longer due to the amount of data being pulled.
8. When all selections have been made, click Run Report.
The report lists the Category, Capitalized Code, Noncapitalized Code, and the Beginning Balance As Of 07/01/20XX for filtered fixed asset information first.

The amounts shown are totals for the Beginning Balance As Of 07/01/20XX column. The $15,562,018.58 represents the Current Page Totals for the Beginning Balance As Of 07/01/20XX. The $24,734,292.54 below represents the Grand Totals for the Beginning Balance As Of 07/01/20XX.
