Asset Masterfile codes can be changed from Asset Management, File, Change Codes. This feature allows you to change an Asset code, Group, Department, Category, Location, Service or GL Set. Selecting Change Codes will enable you to list the current code and the code to which it should be changed.
Editing an Asset Code
🤓Tip: It is highly recommended that an Archive backup is taken before starting to change codes.
Open Asset Management, and go to File, Change Codes.
Enter or browse to the code/s you want to change within the From Value field.
Enter the new value you want to change it to in the To Value field.
Once you have done this press Next and Finish.
The process will then start and a message will be displayed once complete that the change codes was successful.
Notes on changing Asset Codes
A code may not be changed to a code that already exists.
You cannot merge two existing codes into one new code.
When a code is changed, all occurrences of the code will be changed.
Because of the number of files that need to be checked, the procedure may be time consuming.
