Create Menu - Purchase Invoice - Asset

This page describes the 'Asset' function on the Create menu in the Purchase Invoice record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Asset' function is on the + menu.

If the Purchase Invoice represents the purchase of an item that is to be included as one of your company's assets, you can register that item as such using the 'Asset' function. The function requires you to be using the Assets module (i.e. it requires the Assets option in the Configuration setting in the System module to be ticked).

To register an Asset from a Purchase Invoice, first open the Invoice in a record window and then select 'Asset' from the Create menu (Windows/Mac OS X) or + menu (iOS/Android). A new record in the Asset register will be created as follows:

  • If the insertion point is in a Purchase Invoice row, the Purchase Value of the Asset will be the Amount from the Purchase Invoice row, divided by the Quantity on flip B. If this Quantity is blank, it will be said to be 1. The Quantity will be copied to the 'Owner' card of the Asset record, while the Asset's Description will also be copied from the Purchase Invoice row.

  • If the insertion point is not in any Purchase Invoice row, the Purchase Value of the Asset will be the total value of the Purchase Invoice. The Asset's Description will be blank.
The new record will be opened in a separate window with the title 'Asset: New', meaning that it has not yet been saved.

Enter an Inventory Number and otherwise complete the window as appropriate and click the [Save] button (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the details. Click the [Cancel] button or tap < if you do not want to keep the Asset record.

You do not have to mark a Purchase Invoice as OK before creating an Asset from it.

You can also use the fields on flip E of the 'Costs' card of the Purchase Invoice window to have Asset records created from Purchase Invoices automatically. Please refer to the end of this page for details.
