Fixed Asset Management Custom Settings

Some aspects of Fixed Asset Management are controlled by custom settings. From Setup, click Develop | Custom Settings. You must be signed in with System Administrator permissions to change these settings. See the Salesforce Help for information on how to maintain custom settings.

 
Custom FieldDescription
Check Mandatory Fields on SaveIndicates whether the Asset Cost and Date Acquired fields must contain a value before you can save, update or submit an asset for approval. By default this setting is ON.
Warning:

We recommend that you leave Check Mandatory Fields on Save selected. If you turn this setting off, assets can be created without valid values in the Asset Cost or Date Acquired fields. If at a later date you turn this setting back on, you cannot submit those assets for approval without first entering a valid Asset Cost and Date Acquired.

This custom setting must be set at the organization level. If you override this setting at the profile or user level, this might cause problems with the data stored in your fixed asset records.

Dep Book Extra Query Fields Class NameName of an Apex class that extends the DepreciationBookQueryFields class. Use this class to extend the queries of the Depreciation Book object for custom fields that you have added, which your depreciation calculation implementation relies on. See Depreciation Method Fields and the Fixed Asset Management API Help.
Disable Accounting Journal Auto Creation

If selected, prevents Fixed Asset Management from creating journals automatically when approving an asset, exporting a depreciation schedule, or disposing of an asset. If deselected, journals are created automatically when approving an asset, exporting a depreciation schedule, or disposing of an asset. To use this field, you must enable the Accounting Integration feature. When the feature is enabled, this field is deselected by default.

Disable Accounting Validations

If selected, ignores the Accounting fields when saving a fixed asset. If deselected, makes the Accounting Company and GLA fields mandatory to save an asset.

Ignore Validation of FFA fields in FAMIgnores validation of Accounting fields when saving a fixed asset. When validation is applied, the fixed asset's Accounting company and GLA fields must be populated on the fixed asset itself, or on the asset's sub-group or group. This validation avoids journal creation failing because of missing data. By default this setting is OFF, meaning that the validation is applied.
Inherit Values from ParentIndicates whether assets inherit depreciation books from their sub-group or group. When enabled, an asset will inherit depreciation books from its sub-group unless there are no books at the sub-group level, then it will inherit depreciation books from its group. When selected, the Inherit Values from Parent checkbox on fixed asset records is automatically selected. See Grouping Assets for more information.
Lock Dep Schedule Status & Active FieldsIf selected, prevents the user from manually updating the Depreciation Schedule Status and Active fields.
Validate Status FieldIf selected, the Status field is validated. This is the default. If deselected, the Status field is not validated.
