  • 1.  Fixed Assets: vBlock Invoices

    Posted Thu August 18, 2016 01:07 PM

    Has anyone dealt with how their Fixed Asset team tracks/books assets of large purchases such as vBlocks?

     

    The vBlock contains Compute, Storage, the actual vBlock, Network. In order to track the hardware in the proper IT Resource Tower it's best to keep the pieces separately. It can be argued that you can bulk all the pieces and create one asset. 

     

    I know the rule of thumb is that if an asset can be removed from a larger asset such as a vBlock or physical server, it should be tracked separately.

    Will have to ck into this myself.  I know we have this sort of situation with large contracts that can support multiple towers - for the most part we have to research the spend and assign percentages (rate card).
