We need to set up policies on our Fixed Assets and don't know what to do.

If you click on the link below, you will find an example of the Fixed Asset Policies that one of our Fixed Asset customers came up with and is using.  This may be a good example to go by when creating your own policies.

I keyed in an asset with the wrong original value amount. How can I change this?

Do another ADD transaction and key in the amount.  If the amount needs to decrease you would key in a minus first.
