During the course of managing your assets in NetSuite’s Fixed Asset Management (“FAM”) module, you are bound to revalue a few assets.  Revaluing an asset means the current value of the asset is more or less than the original cost, the asset life has changed, depreciation method has changed, or the residual value has changed. NetSuite’s FAM module can help you revalue and post the correct GL impacts to your financial statements.
