CHANGE FIXED ASSET CODE

 

DESCRIPTION:  This utility is helpful in changing the equipment number portion of a fixed asset account number.  Example:  Equipment #196 that you bought in 1988 is retired and now you have a new piece of equipment that you would like to be called Equipment #196; however you don't want all the old transactions in there.

To access the Change Fixed Asset Code, click on the FIXED ASSETS button ,  then click on the CHANGE FIXED ASSET CODE button.

 

 

 

 

1. Select the OLD Fixed Asset Code by using the pull-down menu to find the fixed asset.   

 

2. Enter the NEW Fixed Asset Code. 

NOTE:  If you want to use the same Fixed Asset code for a new piece of equipment, take the old number and place an "R" in front of it.  So if the old equipment number was 196, you can make it R196.  This way you will be able to use 196 again and all the old transactions will be attached to R196, not 196.
