Associate an Improvement with an Asset Item

You can associate an asset item that was used to improve another asset item with the improved asset item.

The two asset items are each depreciated separately, but after you associate them, you can see the association between the two listed on the Equipment Summary report in Reporting > Equipment.

To associate an asset item that improved another asset item with the improved asset item:

1. From the Navigation menu, click Hubs > Equipment.
2. On the Equipment form, use the Search field to select an existing asset item that was used to improve another asset item.
3. On the Equipment form, click the GL Book tab.
4. In the Improvement Type field in the Asset Classification section of the GL Book tab, select the type (classification) of the improvement from the drop-down list. The items in this list are entered on the Improvements tab in Settings > Accounting > Asset Management.
5. In the Improved Asset field, click the icon, use the Equipment lookup to select the asset item that was improved, and then click Select.
6. On the Equipment form toolbar, click Save.
