Delete assets—Fixed Assets Management

The process to delete an asset depends on how the asset was created. For example, if it was created from an AP supplier invoice versus a PO purchase invoice.

Alternatively, you can deactivate the asset, which removes it from lists and dropdowns across your company while still retaining its record.

  • AP supplier invoices: List, View, Delete

  • If the AP supplier invoice is unpaid and your company allows deleting unpaid AP supplier invoices, you can delete the corresponding AP supplier invoice line item or delete the entire AP supplier invoice. The associated asset will also be deleted. See Delete an unpaid AP supplier invoice for more information.

  • If the AP supplier invoice is paid or reversed, or your company does not allow deleting unpaid AP supplier invoices, the asset cannot be deleted. Instead, you can deactivate the asset to hide it across your company. Or, dispose of the asset and then make any needed adjustments in the General Ledger.

  1. Go to Fixed Assets Management > All > Assets.

  2. Find the asset that you want to delete.

  3. In the Source field, select the link.

    The AP supplier invoice that triggered the creation of the asset opens.

    If there's a purchasing transaction in the Document ID field of the AP supplier invoice, then the asset was created from the Purchasing integration. Delete the purchasing transaction to delete the associated AP supplier invoice and asset.
