Procurement of Sub asset by Purchase Order

[davidzouk]

Dear Experts,

We have a scenario as follows,

We procure laptop by Purchase Order, the computer will include Keyboard, Screen, CPU, Mouse etc. We wish to manage the these parts and accessories of the Laptop as sub-assets directly when doing the posting from "Goods & Services Receipt "

Currently, all these parts are recognized as separate Asset ID instead of the sub-asset of the main asset which is the laptop itself, appreciate if anyone can guide on how to configure and capitalise them as sub asset during the stage of posting from "Goods & Services Receipts"

Thanks in advance!

I hope this blog of mine from a few years ago answers your question.

Thanks John for suggesting the answer.

I have read the blog that it looks more like posting the assets in the invoicing level and did not mention about the sub-asset.

In my circumstance is more like we purchased the laptop with extended keyboard from a same supplier, for example, the supplier is charging laptop as $1,000 and separately cost of $100 for the extended laptop.

In Purchase Order, we listed down them as two separate line items as per quote.

Subsequently, user performed the "Good and Receipt", laptop and keyboard are posted with a totally different asset ID,

Example:

Laptop - (Asset ID 1001-0)

Keyboard - (Asset ID 1002-0)

For easier maintenance purpose, we are looking to have the sub-asset ID as follows,

Laptop - (Asset ID 1001-0)

Keyboard - (Asset ID 1001-1)

where the suffixes (-1) represented as the subasset of the main asset (1001)

Again, the asset IDs are generated by posting of the "Good and Receipt" section.

Appreciate to have the guidance that how can it be configured.
