Topic: problem regarding "Fixed Asset Purchase" -- comes only 1qty

Hi,folks.

fixed asset purchase comes with 1 qty item? the qty column(field) is greyed out. if you have two or more then one items of an asset, you can not add on it ... example - i purchase 5 chair but i can not add in one time.

has anyone a clue about how to enable the qty field editable?


thanks- piash

This is by design as each asset should be depreciated separately.

If you intend to depreciate it as a block, treat them all as one asset - a block of assets rolled into one.

Though if treated as a block - single asset; if one becomes damaged/sold/etc then you have a problem...

@cowlas suggest you add to the 'Wish List' sub-forum

FA treats each fixed asset as a single entity for that very same reason - if one is damaged/sold etc.

The FA interface can be made to acquire a set of assets in a single block but get stored as single assets.
