Delete an Asset Item or Equipment Item
You can delete asset items or equipment items from the Equipment hub.
However, you cannot delete asset items that were:
- Created from an AP voucher, purchase order, change order, or release order.
- Entered directly in the Equipment hub, and depreciation has already been processed for them.
You cannot delete equipment items that were created from a purchase order, change order, or release order.
For asset items or equipment items that you are unable to delete, you can do the following:
- If you use the Asset Management application, you can do any of the following for asset items:
- Change the asset item's status in the Asset Status field on the GL Book tab to Inactive.
- Clear the Include check box for the asset item in the Acquisition Cost grid on the GL Cost tab. This will bring the depreciation basis to zero.
- For asset items or equipment items that were created from a purchase order, change order, or release order, you could enter a change order to reduce the asset item or equipment item's quantity to zero.
When a purchase order is canceled, any asset items or equipment items that were created from it are deleted automatically in the Equipment hub.

- In the Search field on the Equipment form, select the asset item or equipment item that you want to delete.
