Are there any plans to release Fixed Asset endpoints? I have a customer that wants the ability to capitalize items when the A/P invoice is entered, without having to rekey info in Fixed Assets.

    @Yamini Kuchhal Sure, there are times when organizations are either entering A/P Invoices or Purchase Order receipts for things that need to be capitalized. The current process is to open Fixed Assets and manually add a new fixed asset record for the item that was just entered into Accounts Payable. There are a few ways to approach an automation to cut out manual steps, but we currently envision an add-in or custom tile from the invoice record allowing the user to “capitalize” the item being invoiced, which would auto-capture information like vendor and cost, while allowing the user to enter other information needed for the fixed asset record. Then the asset record would be created and included in subsequent depreciations. If connected to a Purchase Order receipt, the ability exists to capture more information related to the line item which could feed to fixed assets.
