Fixed Asset Manager - Convention

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, NMichRocks. I appreciate your detailed information and screenshot.
 

I can certainly understand how an ability to batch edit asset items could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.
 

You can submit your own feature requests while using QuickBooks.
 

Here's how:

1. In the top menu bar, go to Help, Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion....
   
   
    
2. Choose a Type of Feedback and Product Area (optional) from your available drop-down menus.
   
   
    
3. Enter any suggestions/feedback in the Here is my suggestion: field.
   
   
    
4. If you'd like, include your name/email in the My name is: (optional) and My e-mail address is: (optional) fields.
   
   
    
5. Select Send Feedback.
   
   

Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.
 

You also have the option of checking QuickBooks Marketplace for apps which may be able to help you achieve what you're looking to do.
 

For the time being, you'll need to manually edit each asset to update their information:
 

1. In your top menu bar, go to Lists, then Chart of Accounts.
2. Right-click on an asset you want to edit and choose Edit Account.
3. Make any necessary changes.
4. Select Save & Close.

I've also included a couple detailed resources about working with fixed assets which may come in handy moving forward:
 

• Use Fixed Asset Manager
• Manage fixed assets using Fixed Asset Manager

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely Friday!

I appreciate the info.  At a minimum, users should be able to select a default Convention for each type of Depreciations (Book, Federal, State, etc), as opposed to having all fixed asset items being loaded with the unintended Convention.  I didn't see this option anywhere during setup.  If this is available please let me know as I have a second company to set up soon.  Also, I may have specified the wrong product on my initial post, but I am using QB Enterprise Desktop 23.0
