When retiring and replacing assets, there are two options: creating a fresh record for the new asset, which provides a clean slate, or updating the existing record, which ensures continuity in the asset history.


Option 1: Deactivate the retired asset and create a new asset for a replacement

To have a clear separation between the retired asset and its replacement.

1. Add a remark against the retired asset indicating the replacement.

3. Create a new asset for replacement.

Option 2: Update existing asset information

To keep all history in a single record while reflecting the replacement.

1. Add a remark against the retired asset indicating the replacement.

2. Edit the asset to update the base date.
