Field Description
Automatic Item Numbering

Selected by default to automatically assign item numbers to assets. If not selected, you must manually assign an item number to each asset.

Click Next Available Item Nbr to populate the Next Available Item Nbr field with the last number plus 1.

If the next available item number has reached the maximum number (i.e., 9999999999), the item number is reset to 0000000001 and begins to search for the next available number that was not previously used (i.e., 0000000995).

If all available numbers were previously used, the following message is displayed “All available item numbers are used.” You must perform the necessary steps to clear item numbers from the file ID.

Use Catalog Description

Select to use the item description from the Catalog table. If not selected, you must manually type the description for each new entry.

Allow Alpha Item Numbers

Select to allow the use of alpha characters (e.g., 12AB) in the Asset Item Numbers field. If not selected, item numbers can only be numerical (e.g., 1234).

Current Fiscal Year

Type the current fiscal year in the YYYY format to represent the year to calculate depreciation.

Default Gain Code
