Cause

Report 'Fixed Assets - Inventory List' shows the acquisition value and net book value for all the fixed assets by a selected accounting period and year. It is the expected value for the asset in the selected period. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the planned depreciation amount under Depreciation Overview tab for each asset.

However, if check the Depreciation View of the Fixed Asset, there will be at least one period that has yellow triangle beside the period. It means that a Depreciation Run should be performed for this fixed asset but hasn't been done.

Resolution

System works as designed. Once the depreciation run for the fixed asset is performed, the net book value will be the same.
