Numbering of assets migrated from AE Tax to online assets
When assets are imported from AE tax to the online Assets register they seem to come across with a random asset number. Is there any system to the order that assets are numbered? I doesn't seem to relate to the date purchased or be alphabetical.
When a depreciation report is printed from the new ledger it always seems to print by asset number (I know you can sort differently on the screen). This means that on the report assets are all jumbled up with ones from 10 or 20 years ago printing in amongst more recent purchases.
I know that you can go and edit the asset number, but with a large schedule this is a laborious process.
Hi Mark, thanks for raising your query! 😊
In the Online Asset Register, you can sort your assets by Asset Code or Description. Simply click on the relevant column header to sort your assets.
When creating an asset, you’ll need to enter an asset code, as this is a required field. This ensures that each asset has a consistent and meaningful code rather than an automatically generated or random number.
Currently, our asset reports are sorted based on the Asset Code. As a suggestion, you could use a consistent numbering system, such as starting from 001 onwards, to help keep your assets organised.
If you have a large number of assets and would like to exclude those that were fully depreciated in previous years, you can do this when running the Asset Schedule report. Simply untick the option to include assets fully depreciated in prior years before running the report. This will allow the fully depreciated assets to be removed in your asset schedule report.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. 😊
