About the API
Value proposition

*A fixed asset is a long-term tangible asset that a company owns and uses in its operations to generate income. These assets have a useful life of more than one year and are not intended for resale. Examples of fixed assets include machinery, buildings, vehicles, and equipment. Fixed assets are recorded on the balance sheet and are subject to depreciation over their useful life, reflecting the wear and tear or obsolescence of the asset over time. A fixed asset is an accounting object managed with a dedicated sub ledger in NEO by Fixed Asset Master data.
