I am creating an asset on the fixed asset manager. However my acquisition date keeps changing.

 

For example on the fixed asset item list, it shows as 01/08/2022 (1 August 2022) which is the right one. When i open the Fixed Asset Manager, the acquisition date changes to 08/01/2022 (8 January 2022) which is wrong. I have ensured my computer date is dd/mm/yyyy however this is still affecting my Fixed Asset Manager. Kindly help.

Hello there, @adwoaaa.

 

I'm concerned to hear that you're experiencing an incorrect date format when comparing your Fixed Asset Item List and Fixed Asset Manager. Rest assured, I'm here to help you understand and assist you in handling this.

 

Your computer's date format will synchronize with the Fixed Asset Item list date format. However, the date format in the Fixed Asset Manager will remain in the month/date/year format. I've provided a screenshot below to show that one of my assets is dated October 15, 2009, in month/date/year format.

 

 

I have also provided an image below that shows the same asset in the Fixed Asset Item in date/month/year format. However, it shows in the Fixed Asset Manager as month/date/year format.

 

 

After that, you can also consider managing your Fixed Assets using the Fixed Asset Manager (FAM) to help you better control your asset information in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Feel free to drop by your additional concerns you may have by clicking the reply button below. I'm here to assist you with anything besides understanding the date format between the Fixed Asset Manager and Fixed Asset Item Lists.

I agree with that. Dates after 13th of any month are able to synchronize when I open the Fixed Asset Manager to be mm/dd/yyyy. However, dates before 13th of any month are not able to synchronize like the example I gave before. 
You can try it with an asset purchased on 1 August 2024 (01/08/2024) in the Fixed Asset Item List.

 

When I open the FAM, the date changes to 8 January 2024 (08/01/2024).

 

Do let me know how I can go about this. Because of the date changes, my depreciation values are very different.
