Amending asset – An overview

Activity overview

This page allows you to add a new asset tag to the asset or upgrade with the already existing tag.

The addition of the tags to an asset or amending an existing tag is based a document reference. The system defaults the tag cost in the current page based on the document selected in the previous page.  

You can specify the date on which the tags are capitalized. You can specify the numbering type based on which the number will be generated by the system after amendment. You can enter the asset number to which the tags are going to be attached. If you want a new tag to be added, you can check the “New Tag” check box and provide a unique number to it. If the tags are going to be appended to already existing tags, then you can specify the valid existing tag number to which you want to attach. This page also allows you to capture the additional details, for the new tag. If the tag is going to be attached to the already existing tags, then the scrap value and the in-service date must not be altered.

The system updates the status of the asset to ‘’Active’’ after amendment. The system updates the login ID of the user to the created by and the system date to the created date.
