How do I make asset cards from a purchase receipt?

Open Asset In Bulk, pick the purchase receipt as Origin Number, Create and Save. Every asset acquisition line of the receipt becomes an asset card; a Serialized group gets one card per unit.

A purchase order whose lines are asset acquisitions with an asset group, and its saved receipt. See Purchasing how-to

Steps​

  1. Open Asset In Bulk. Transaction Date: today. Origin Number: the receipt. Create.
    • The lines fill: group, name, quantity, unit, unit cost from the purchase order line.
  2. Save. The cards are made and their numbers fill the Asset column.
  3. Acquire each card on Asset Acquisition. The cost and the clearing account come in by themselves.

If something looks wrong​

  • "There is no Asset to create". The receipt has no asset acquisition line.
  • "... of ... is already converted to Assets in ...". That receipt was converted before.
  • The receipt can no longer be reversed. Cards name it as their origin; that is by design.
