Asset Inbound · One-Click From Purchase Order to Asset File

Newly purchased laptops, new meeting-room whiteboards, factory equipment arriving in bulk — turning supplier acceptance into a fixed-asset file once meant finance copying the invoice, admin copying the serial numbers, and IT recording the MAC addresses: three teams, three forms. Now it connects directly to the purchase-acceptance form, splitting into N asset files in one go per the rules.

The Bridge From Purchase Acceptance to Asset File

Connect to inbound orders from inventory and expand them into one-item-one-code asset files per the rules

📥 One-Click Convert From PO

After purchase acceptance, tick "convert to fixed asset" to auto-expand N asset files by quantity — no re-entering supplier, price, brand or model

🔢 Auto-Generated Numbers

Asset numbers are generated by the "category code + year-month + serial" rule, with the numbering scheme definable in the system; manual override is also supported

📅 Booking / Start Date

The booking date defaults to the acceptance date and the depreciation start date to the 1st of the following month; finance can adjust in bulk or per record

🏢 Auto-Filled Ownership

The using department, user and location from the request form carry over directly to the asset file — admin only reviews rather than re-enters

📎 Source Document Trail

The asset file keeps links to the purchase order, acceptance form and invoice number, so finance and audit can click through to trace the source anytime

📝 Batch Editing

Need to add SN / IMEI / MAC after batch inbound? Download the Excel template, fill it in and re-import to update — no opening each record one by one

One Purchase Order Expands Into 50 Laptops

The IT department buys 50 ThinkPads at once for new hires — once you'd manually create 50 rows in the fixed-asset sheet. Now you tick "convert to asset" on the PO and the system expands it into 50 asset files, each auto-assigned a distinct asset number, price apportioned by the purchase document, and owning department inherited from the request.

  • 1 PO → 50 asset files, all with unique numbers
  • Price apportioned to each asset by "original value / quantity"
  • SN serial numbers batch-imported from Excel, matched per asset
  • Adjust freely after expansion: assign to different employees / split across departments

Self-Define Numbering Rules

Different enterprises number assets differently: manufacturers by "category-plant-serial," retail chains by "store-type-sequence," government bodies by "year-fiscal number." The system offers a templated numbering scheme that auto-generates by your business conventions — no enforced single format.

  • Numbering variables: category code, department code, year-month, serial
  • Independent serials per category: LAP-2026-001 for computers and DESK-2026-001 for furniture don't interfere
  • Supports a hybrid of manually specified prefix + auto-padded suffix
  • Already-booked asset numbers are unaffected by rule changes
Use Cases

Where Batch Inbound Saves the Most Effort

IT Equipment for New Hires

30 people join in a quarter, with 30 sets of laptop + monitor + mouse & keyboard bought together. One PO becomes 120 asset files, 4 per employee, requisitioned directly by ownership.

New Office Fit-Out

A new branch opening needs 100 desk-and-chair sets + 50 printers + 20 meeting-room devices. Split into batches by floor for conversion, each item's location precise to the workstation number.

Bulk Factory Equipment Arrival

A new line's 80 same-model injection molders arrive in two batches of 40. Two acceptance forms each convert to assets, with numbering auto-continuing without conflict.

Standard Store-Opening Pack for Chains

5 new stores open, each with a standardized device pack (POS / camera / router / checkout counter / freezer). Batch inbound splits by store, with numbers carrying a store code to distinguish.
