Modifying Asset Class

Modifying asset class details

This activity allows you to modify the details of an asset class. You can modify details of an asset class that is in the “Fresh” or “Active” status. You can carry out a search based on the code identifying the asset class and the description of the asset class. You can also search based on whether the asset class is depreciable and the frequency in which the asset class must be verified. The system retrieves the asset class based on the search criteria entered. You can modify the description of the asset and change the frequency in which the asset class must be verified. The system stores the login ID of the user and the system date along with the modified details.
