What is an Asset? 

Assets are a valuable item for an organization. Mostly assets are categorized into 2 types: 

• Tangible Assets 

• Intangible Assets 

Computers, printers, vehicles, and office furniture are tangible assets. Employees, trademarks, or software licenses are intangible assets. 

Assets typically have a useful life spanning several years. Instead of analyzing the full cost of purchase, accounting rules spread its economic value over its useful life.  

Just like, let’s buy a laptop, which costs around INR 80,000, with 3 years of annual expense it could incur INR 20,000. ERP simplifies these calculations, adhering to the rules and regulations of different countries.
