How to Delete a Fixed Asset Object

I imported a fixed asset which included 3 object transactions. I rolled back the object transactions and now would like to delete the object.

When I try to delete/trash it, it tells me that:  the FA object is used by 3 rows in another object (Fa Object Transaction)

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me where I am going wrong or if it is even possible to delete this object. 

 

Thank you.

Hi,

I do not think, it is possible to delete a FA Object after transactions are created.

I can think of two options here.

  1. To change the description and other information and use it for next Asset.
  2. Or Import it with zero values and scrap it.

May be you could do it from database.

Thanks

I am fully backing up Gayan’s position. I would not recommend deleting object even from database - it might have impact on GL reports. 

The best solution is to reuse object id for future acquisitions.
