change asset account number

If I change my asset account number on items that were put in wrong, does it change the asset number in the history of that item? or does it keep the old asset account?

change asset account number

I'd be happy to help clarify your questions about changing an asset account number for an item, Glenn.

 

When you modify the asset number of an item, it will automatically update its history. It means that the changes made after correcting the account number of an item that was previously incorrect will reflect in all transactions involving that item. As a result, the old asset account will no longer be used.

 

Here's an article to learn what you can do with items: Add, edit, and delete items in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

In case you'd like to explore adding account numbers to your asset, refer to this guide: Add, edit, or delete accounts in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let me know if you still have questions or concerns with account numbers. I'm always here for you. Have a wonderful day ahead.
