Reassigning Assets Between Departments

The Between Departments tab lets you reassign the department of the assets while maintaining all the historical information of the asset.

Note:

·       If an asset record is associated with child records, the child records are not displayed on the data grid for the selected department. Changing the department of the parent asset automatically updates the department of all child records to match the parent record unless the parent-child relationship is terminated prior to performing the reassignment.

·       If the department of child asset is different from the department of parent asset, you can assign the child asset to the department of parent asset or keep the department of child asset unchanged.

·       Before reassignment, you must close all the open work orders of the asset and post all fuel transactions of the asset in the current department. The new fuel transactions of the asset will be assigned to the new department and will be billed accordingly.
