This scenario may arise if I plan on employing ten new employees, and buy 10 new laptops in advance at a discounted rate.
The ten laptops could be recorded as WIP with a cost and purchase date but no first use date. They could be transferred to the relevant asset group and the first use date updated when use commences.
If they were recorded as one asset, and you prefer that they are recorded as ten assets then you would need to delete the original WIP asset. Using the Bulk Upload import template you would upload the individual assets.
If you prefer that they remain recorded as one asset but you wish to distribute them to two locations you may apply the following solution:
- Open the asset and under Actions select set quantity. This will just show a quantity of 10 in the asset record.
- Under the Location icon click on "Transfer" and add your second location and split the allocation to 50% of the asset in each location.
