I'm working with QB Fixed Asset Manager.  I saw an option to allow Asset Number to be changed but I can't remember how to get back to that setting and I am unable to change Asset Numbers.  Where do I find this option?

Hello, @NMichRocks.

 

I'm here to ensure you'll be able to change the asset number in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To access the option for changing Asset Numbers in QuickBooks Desktop Fixed Asset Manager, you can follow these detailed steps:

 

  1. From the List menu, select Fixed Asset Items List.
  2. Double-click the specific asset for which you want to amend the Asset Number.
  3. Edit the asset number in the Asset Name/Number field.
  4. Once done, click Ok to save changes.

 

 

Furthermore, you can browse these articles as your guide about managing FAM:

Sorry, I am looking to change the item number assigned by the FAM program.  These instructions (From Ariell) only change the Fixed Asset Number at the end of the Asset Description, they do not change the Fixed Asset Number from the FAM schedule as assigned by FAM.  Where is the option to unlock the Asset Number field in FAM?

Hello,

Curious if you were able to figure this out. I have been searching the web and youtube and have had no luck! 


I ended up moving away from the QB Fixed Asset Manager as there were too many program bugs for me.  Most importantly, when one user would input data or make changes, those changes were not visible to another user.  Or the user had to be an Admin user in order to make changes, which did not work well when the Admin is looking to delegate tasks.  Program seemed very rigid with very little support options.  Currently using Excel again to manage Fixed Assets.  I am usually a big fan of QB, but disappointed in the Fixed Asset Manager to say the least.  If you know of any other Fixed Asset manager programs for small business please share.
