Tried hunting high and low for it with no luck... look at videos online and you can clearly see it under the 'accountant' tab, but theres nothing there..... Did they take it out for the 2013 version?
The reason why I ask is i know how to account for dep'n and all and that you have to do it manually etc etc, but the only place the expense is listed is on the BS. You can add the columns dep'n and book value to the fixed asset list. But as for any values being displayed, well theres nothing!!! :/ whats the point!!! i just dont get it! :(
This is one thing I don't like about QuickBooks. I not 100% about the accountant's version, but from what you have described it sounds like the same thing on the Pro version, you can track fixed assets but still have to complete manual calculations for depreciation. You are right, there is no point, I don't use it, I just set up a spreadsheet template to track assets.
There used to be a depreciation calculator in QB 2006, it used the asset tracker to produce a report and you had to then enter the depreciation manually, but there were blips here because it kept entering UK dates as US dates. I was forever finding my days and months mixed up and the wrong depreciation amounts calculated. I am guessing this was why it was scrapped as it worked perfectly well otherwise.
I really wish QBooks would add this to their software, it would save a lot of hassle.
