My customer started using FA last year and there are multiple assets that were added as 1 asset, although they actually are made up of multiple items. Example an invoice came in for 22 PC's and was only added as 1 asset number with a 22 quantity and a total cost.
Now they find that if they retire or transfer assets, this is causing an issue with these assets. Many of them has serial numbers, but they can only use $ amount or quantity to transfer these with no visibility of the specific assets being transferred or retired.
What would be the proper way to split these assets to individual assets? The only thing I can think of is to retire the original asset and enter each asset individually. I think they could use the same asset ID with the suffix. But how would that affect prior depreciation and dates and GL that is already posted for adds, and depreciation? They have 78 assets to split and most have under 10 items, but a few have over a hundred items. They at least do have a spreadsheet of each item, so I could import them.
Just looking for suggestions on best way to handle this. Thanks,
Additional caveat - they use MEM heavily
