1What it is and why
| What it is | A periodic task that recalculates the replacement cost and insured value of fixed assets, using the percentage factors on their fixed asset groups. |
|---|---|
| What you do here | Used to raise or lower replacement costs and insured values for many assets at once, for all or only some assets in a group. |
| Example | For example, if inflation was 3 percent last year, you can increase the replacement cost of all fixed assets by 3 percent in one run. |
