How do I delete an asset?
Deleting an asset record will remove all of the information about an asset from the Asset Management
database. Once a record has been deleted, it cannot be undone. As a precaution, you may want to backup the Asset Management database before you delete any records.
You would retire an asset when it is no longer in use but you still need to keep its history for accounting, audit, and reporting purposes. Retiring an asset records that it was disposed of, sold, scrapped, or taken out of service while preserving its depreciation and transaction history.
You would delete an asset when the record was created in error, duplicated, or should never have existed in the system. Deleting removes the asset record entirely and is typically only done to correct mistakes rather than track normal asset disposal.
Before you get started
If the asset is linked to transactions, it may be easier to retire the asset. See the help topic titled How do I retire assets?
Deleting an asset
1. Open Connect Asset Management > Assets > Modify Existing Assets.

3. Click Delete (CTRL+D).
The asset is deleted.
