I have an asset (value 0, error by me), 2 depreciation entries.
I then edit the asset. Change the value in 500.
I then get an error about the lockdate when saving the value
Same happens when I try to create a new asset with a value other than 0
This isn’t a bug.
The value that appears in the setup of a Fixed Asset is its Starting balance
which by definition predates any lock dates the user has set.
In order to edit any Starting balance
, you need to remove the Lock Date
.
You are right… not sure how this can be more explicit.
I made a mistake by setting the book value, as that will be added by a different transaction (purchase invoice)
But according to your OP, the asset has 0 starting book value and 2 depreciation entries. That’s a bit confusing.
Could you please demonstrate with screenshots the following:
- The asset in question summary from Fixed Assets tab (the main table, just search for asset and capture that)
- The edit screen of the Asset in question clearly showing the starting balance
- The two depreciation entries
- Any relevant Purchase Invoices.
Also, you should provide a description of what is your desired outcomes from all of this as well–spare no detail.
