Overview
The Fixed Asset Management module in DizLog lets you record, track, and maintain your company’s long-term assets (for example machines, equipment, or other property).
From this screen you can:
See a list of all fixed assets.
Add new assets one by one.
Import many assets at once from a template file.
Edit, dispose of, transfer, or delete existing assets.
The module lives under:
Financials › Fixed Asset Management
and uses the standard DizLog table layout with filters at the top and a data grid below.

Based on the screens and application structure, the Fixed Asset Management module includes these core features:
Asset list and filters

From the routing structure, the module has dedicated pages for:
Fixed Asset Details / Edit
Asset Disposa
Transfer Asset
There is also support for deleting an asset through a delete action
Depreciation settings for each asset
Each asset stores Depreciation Method and Depreciation Rate together with Useful Life and Depreciation Start Date
These values are used in the fixed-asset reporting service to calculate depreciation trend and book value by type and location
Export and print
Icons on the top-right of the list view allow you to export or print the asset list (icons shown as download / PDF / print on the screen).
Modules Connected to Fixed Asset Management
The Fixed Asset Management module works together with these other parts of DizLog:
Locations – Assets must be tied to a location. Both the single-asset form and the import process require a valid Location; the importer matches the text in “Location Name” to an existing location record
Suppliers – Assets may reference a Supplier; the importer maps “Supplier Name” to the list of suppliers
Employees / Users – Each asset can be assigned to a User; imports match “User Name” to an employee
Financial Reports (Balance Sheet & others) – Asset and depreciation data are used by the accounting reporting services and fixed-asset reporting services that feed Balance Sheet and other financial reports.
Getting Started
Step 1 – Open Fixed Asset Management
Log in to your DizLog web portal.
From the left-hand menu, go to Financials.
Click Fixed Asset Management.
You will see:
Filters at the top (Search Asset, Status, Location).
Import and Add Asset buttons on the right.
An asset table (initially empty if you haven’t added any assets yet).
Step 2 – Prepare reference data
For best results:
Make sure your Locations, Suppliers, and Employees/Users are already set up in their respective modules, because:
The import tool uses these to match “Location Name”, “Supplier Name”, and “User Name” from the CSV
The New Asset form shows them as drop-down lists.
How to Use
A. Viewing and filtering fixed assets
Open Financials › Fixed Asset Management.
Use Search Asset to type part of the asset name.
Choose a Status (for example, All / Active / Inactive – as shown in the status filter).
Choose a Location from the drop-down if you want to see only assets at one location.
The table updates automatically based on your selections.
Use the export/print icons on the right to download or print the current list.
B. Adding a single new asset
On the Fixed Asset Management page, click Add Asset.
On the New Asset screen, fill in the fields:
Basic detailsAsset Name* – A clear name for the asset.

Asset Code / Tag* – The internal code or tag you use to identify the asset.
Purchase Date* – The date the asset was bought.
Purchase Cost* – The total cost of the asset.
Depreciation settings
Useful Life* – The number of months you expect to use the asset.

Supplier – Choose the supplier who provided the asset.
Department – Enter the department responsible for the asset.
User – Select the primary user or custodian.
Notes – Add any additional information.
Check that all required fields (marked with *) are filled.
Click Save to create the asset.
The new asset will appear in the asset list with its current status.
C. Importing many assets from a template (bulk import)
Use bulk import when you have a large number of assets to set up.
Go to Financials › Fixed Asset Management.
Click Import.
In the Import Fixed Assets window:
Click Download template file to download the CSV template
Open the file in Excel or another spreadsheet app.
For each asset, fill in these columns:
Name
Asset Type
Asset Code
Purchase Date
Purchase Cost
Useful Life
Salvage Value
Depreciation Method
Depreciation Rate
Location Name
Supplier Name
Department
User Name
Make sure:
Location Name, Supplier Name, and User Name exactly match what you have set up in Locations, Suppliers, and Employees
Purchase Date is a valid date that your system can recognize; otherwise the importer will show an error for invalid date format
Save the CSV file.
Back in the Import Fixed Assets window:
Click the upload area and choose your CSV file (or drag and drop it).
The system reads the file, maps each row to an asset, and checks for missing or invalid locations, suppliers, and users
If the preview looks good, click Upload to create all the assets at once.
After a successful upload, the new assets will appear in your list.
D. Editing an existing asset
In the asset list, find the asset you want to change.
In the Actions column, click the Edit icon (pencil).
On the Fixed Asset Details / Edit page, adjust any fields such as:
Name, Type, Code / Tag
Purchase Cost or Useful Life (if you need to correct data)
Depreciation Method or Rate
Location, Supplier, Department, User
Click Save to apply your changes.
Behind the scenes the system sends an update request for that asset
E. Disposing of an asset
Use disposal when an asset is sold, scrapped, or otherwise removed from use.
In the asset list, use the Actions menu and choose Dispose for the relevant asset.
You will be taken to an Asset Disposal page (shown in the routing.
Follow the on-screen fields (for example, disposal date or notes) and complete the form.
Save the disposal to update the asset’s status and remove it from active use.
F. Transferring an asset
When an asset moves from one location to another:
In the asset list, select Transfer from the Actions column.
You will be taken to a Transfer Asset page
Choose the new location and any other required details shown on the form.
Save the transfer. The asset will now show with the updated location.
G. Deleting an asset
If you created an asset by mistake and it has no transactions:
Find the asset in the list.
In the Actions column, click the Delete / trash icon.
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
(The system uses a delete request for that asset ID
Tip: In most accounting processes, it’s better to dispose of real assets instead of deleting them so that your history and reports remain accurate.
Troubleshooting
1. “Please wait while we load reference data”
When opening the Import window you may see an error message telling you to wait while reference data loads
What it means: The list of locations, suppliers, or employees is still being fetched.
What to do:
Wait a few seconds and try again.
If it still appears, refresh the page or check your internet connection.
2. Import fails because of purchase date
During import you might see errors like “Purchase date is required” or “Invalid purchase date format”
Check that every row has a Purchase Date.
Use a standard date format that your system recognizes (for example the same format used on the New Asset form).
Correct the dates in your CSV and upload again.
3. Import warns about missing locations, suppliers, or users
The importer keeps track of missingLocations, missingSuppliers, and missingUsers when it cannot match the names in your CSV to existing records
Make sure the text in Location Name, Supplier Name, and User Name exactly matches what you have in DizLog (spelling, spacing, and capitalization matter).
If the name doesn’t exist yet, create it first in the appropriate module (Locations, Suppliers, Employees) and then re-import.
4. Asset values in reports look incorrect
If you notice that balances on your Balance Sheet or other financial reports do not match your expectations:
Open the asset in Fixed Asset Management.
Check:
Purchase Cost
Useful Life
Salvage Value
Depreciation Method
Depreciation Start Date and Rate
Correct any mistakes and save.
These fields are used by the fixed-asset report service to calculate depreciation and book value, which then flow into your financial reports.
5. I cannot edit or delete a particular asset
If an asset won’t let you edit or delete it:
Check whether it has already been disposed or transferred. Certain actions may be limited once there are transactions or depreciation entries linked to that asset.
If you still can’t change it, contact your system administrator; they may need to adjust permissions or handle the change through a journal or support process.
By following this guide, you can confidently set up and maintain your company’s fixed assets in DizLog, ensuring that your Balance Sheet and other financial reports reflect accurate asset and depreciation information.
