I'm working with QB Fixed Asset Manager.  I saw an option to allow Asset Number to be changed but I can't remember how to get back to that setting and I am unable to change Asset Numbers.  Where do I find this option?

Hello, @NMichRocks.

 

I'm here to ensure you'll be able to change the asset number in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To access the option for changing Asset Numbers in QuickBooks Desktop Fixed Asset Manager, you can follow these detailed steps:

 

  1. From the List menu, select Fixed Asset Items List.
  2. Double-click the specific asset for which you want to amend the Asset Number.
  3. Edit the asset number in the Asset Name/Number field.
  4. Once done, click Ok to save changes.

 

 

Furthermore, you can browse these articles as your guide about managing FAM:

Sorry, I am looking to change the item number assigned by the FAM program.  These instructions (From Ariell) only change the Fixed Asset Number at the end of the Asset Description, they do not change the Fixed Asset Number from the FAM schedule as assigned by FAM.  Where is the option to unlock the Asset Number field in FAM?

Thanks for getting back to the thread and adding a screenshot, @NMichRocks.

 

Upon checking, the asset number showing in the Fixed Asset Manager is system-generated. Once you add a fixed asset item, the system will automatically create a number for it. 

 

The option to edit it is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. With that, I suggest sending feedback to our developers. They can review your suggestions to help them develop the product. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.
  2. Click the Product Suggestion option. A pop-up window displays.
  3. Enter your feedback suggestion.
  4. Select Send Feedback.

 

To help you better manage your asset information, check this article for terminologies, depreciation methods, and predefined reports in FAM: Manage fixed assets using Fixed Asset Manager. 

 

Please let me know if you have follow-up questions about updating the fixed item number assigned by the FAM program. We'll be here to help. Have a good one.
