Location

Select the Location tab.

Location

Specify the current physical location of an asset. The location must have a valid business unit or job number in the Business Unit Master table (F0006).

Start Date

Specify the date on which an address, item, transaction, or table record becomes active. The meaning of this field differs, depending on the program. For example, the effective date can represent any of these:

• The date on which a change of address becomes effective.

• The date on which a lease becomes effective.

• The date on which a price becomes effective.

• The date on which the currency exchange rate becomes effective.

• The date on which a tax rate becomes effective.

Current Item Qty (current item quantity)

Specify the current number of units for an asset. The current item quantity is used in conjunction with the original quantity. The Current Item Quantity field should always reflect the current or remaining amount of units.

Original Item Qty (original item quantity)

Specify the original number of units for an asset. If assets are purchased and accounted for in quantities (more than one), you can specify the original quantity purchased. For example, if you purchase 100 office chairs, you would set up one asset item with an original quantity of 100. Then, as you disposed of office chairs, you would adjust the current quantity to reflect the current balance. This adjustment enables you to track assets purchased in bulk quantity on one master record.

Equipment Status

Specify the UDC (12/ES) that identifies the equipment or disposal status of an asset, such as available, down, or disposed.

The system updates the value in this field when you run the Asset Disposal program to dispose of the asset.
