Note
Before you can use this functionality, you have to set up the fields FA No. Wizard Source, No. Series FA from Wizard as well as Serviced Item No. Prefix in the General Ledger Setup. For more information on this, click here. In addition, this function is only available if the field In Stock As on the service item card shows the value Fixed Asset and the service item hasn't been linked to an existing fixed asset yet.

- A list containing all service items is displayed.
- Open the service item you would like to create a fixed asset for.
- Click on Actions > New > New Fixed Asset in the menu bar.

- The fixed asset card is displayed. On the fixed asset card, you can see that the Description and the Serial No. field have been filled with the information from the service item card.
