Place assets back in service in bulk—Fixed Assets Management

If you accidentally dispose of assets, you can use the import service to move them back in service in bulk.

When you place an asset back in service, Fixed Assets Management performs the following actions:

  • Deletes the disposal journal entry.

  • Removes all disposal fields from the asset.

  • Changes the state of the depreciation schedule entries from Canceled to Not posted.

  • Changes the asset state to In service.

Before you begin

  • Verify that the disposal date is in an open period. If it's in a closed period, you must manually reverse the journal entries and recreate the asset as a historical asset. Contact your account manager for further assistance.
