Auto Fixed Asset Numbering
Fixed asset numbers can be manually entered or automatically generated when entering a new fixed asset. The Asset numbers can be characters, numbers or the combination of both. On the Header of the Fixed Asset Acquisition transaction, three fields are used in the automatic generation of an asset number: Generate Fixed Asset Number, Prefix, and Fixed Asset Number.
Use of the numbering feature is optional.

|
Prefix |
Unlike Automatic Transaction Numbering, each fixed asset numbering sequence requires a prefix. That prefix can be up to four characters and numbers in length. Typically prefixes have a meaning such as being tied to an asset type, department, location, use, etc. |
|
Default Prefix |
One record on Auto Fixed Asset Numbering can be marked as the default prefix so that if the Prefix field is left blank on a Fixed Asset Acquisition transaction the default will be pushed to the transaction. |
|
Next Available Asset Number |
When adding a record, this number is entered to be the first assigned Fixed Asset Number. If the desire to start numbering at 1, then enter 0 in the field. Depending on the length of the prefix, the first assigned number will be the prefix followed by as many zeros and a 1 to make a number 15 in length. |
