Asset Management and Multiple Companies

Keep these facts in mind when you track multiple companies in Vantagepoint and use the Asset Management application.

  • Asset Management Settings: You must configure asset management separately for each company. The settings that you enter in Settings > Asset Management apply to the active company.
  • Equipment Hub: When you have multiple companies, the Equipment Lookup dialog box in the Search field on the Equipment form includes equipment items from all companies. However, the lookup displays only those equipment items that are those from the companies to which you have security access.
  • Processing Options:
    • Depreciation: You must run depreciation processing separately for each company. Depreciation only applies to assets that belong to the active company.
    • Transfers/Splits: You can process a transfer or split for an asset item only if you are transferring or splitting from and to a project in the same company. Transfers/splits only apply to assets that belong to the active company.
    • Disposal : You can complete a disposal session for assets that belong to the active company.
