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.

Fixed Asset Management Settings

Custom Field	Description
Check Mandatory Fields on Save	Indicates 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: Warnings 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 Name	Name 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 upon. See Depreciation Method Fields and the FinancialForce Fixed Asset Management API Help.
Ignore Validation of FFA fields in FAM	Ignores validation of FinancialForce 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 Parent	Indicates 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 Fields	If selected, prevents the user from manually updating the Depreciation Schedule Status and Active fields.
Validate Status Field	If selected the Status field is validated. This is the default. If deselected the Status field is not validated.
