Require Template to Create Assets from A/P and P/O

Select this check box to require an asset template to be selected to complete an asset data entry in the Accounts Payable and Purchase Order modules. Clear this check box if you do not want to require the asset template to be selected.

An asset template must be selected during data entry to create assets from the asset items in the invoice or order. If this check box is cleared and the asset template is not selected, then assets are not created when the invoice or order is entered and updated.

Asset templates are set up in Sage Fixed Assets, and allow you to predefine certain values required for new assets. For more information on asset templates, refer to the Sage Fixed Assets Help system.
