I kindly request your assistance with some clarification
In reference to the update 23.10.1.1016, there was an introduction of the acquisition date under the fixed asset and intangible asset starting balance
However under the recent update, the same feature was removed,
I feel the acquisition date is very important for accuracy when calculating the depreciation and working with the accurate date of the fixed asset
@Hamiltonsmith, starting balances are used only when migrating to Manager from a prior accounting system. As a result, the acquisition date, whenever it was, fell outside the coverage period of the Manager database. Start dates were eliminated from Manager years ago. So the program has no use for such information.
Personally, I do not recall acquisition date ever being a field on the fixed asset entry form. As far as I know, if a user had a desire to record that for some purpose, the way to do so was to use a custom field. I have always done that in my businesses, because it is relevant for local tax purposes, even though the program has no use for the information.
I bypassed updating to v23.10.1.1016. So I cannot say with certainty whether an acquisition date field was included in that version. But, if it was, I believe that was a bug.
