Dynamics GP 2016 R2–Saving an new Fixed Asset with a Suffix Greater Than 1

Figure 1 – Asset Card showing new asset with suffix of 05

The Dynamics GP Fixed Asset module is improving with each release of Dynamics GP.  In the current release, Dynamics GP 2016 R2, users are able to save the Asset ID with a suffix other than 1. 

New assets can now be listed as:

• Forklift 1040 Orange-12 instead of Forklift 1040 Orange-1
• Toyota Camry SSE Grey-10 instead of Toyota Camry SSE Grey-1

Here are the reasons that this change will make life easier for the fixed asset manager:

• This change will make creating new assets easier/faster
•   If a company buys a block of assets from another company, they no longer have to change the asset id if the suffix is not a 1
• Importing assets will be easier without the suffix being 1
• Companies can create suffix lists for certain assets for easier tracking
