If you change the quantity of a fixed asset in Dynamics GP, the depreciation amount for the asset will change, as depreciation is calculated based on the acquisition cost and the quantity of the asset.
When you change the quantity of the asset, you will also need to update the acquisition cost per asset. This is because the acquisition cost for the asset should reflect the total cost of all the assets, and not just the cost of one asset.
To update the acquisition cost per asset, you should divide the total acquisition cost by the new quantity of the asset. For example, if the total acquisition cost of three assets is $60,000, and you change the quantity to two, then you should update the acquisition cost per asset to $30,000.
Once you have updated the quantity and acquisition cost per asset, you will need to recalculate the depreciation for the asset. To do this, you can run the Depreciate Fixed Assets utility in Dynamics GP.
It's important to note that changing the quantity of a fixed asset can also impact other areas in Dynamics GP, such as General Ledger and Accounts Payable. You should review these areas to ensure that they reflect the changes you made to the fixed asset.
