Fixed Asset: Enter Adjustment Function

Use the Enter Adjustment function in Coins to edit the purchase price, written down value (WDV), or depreciation method of a fixed asset that has already been posted.

Once a fixed asset is posted in Coins, fields such as the purchase price and depreciation method are not available to edit directly. Use the Enter Adjustment feature to modify these values without reversing the original posting.

You need access to the Fixed Asset module in Coins to complete these steps.

Correct a purchase date after posting

The purchase date on a fixed asset acquisition is locked once the batch is posted. Enter Adjustment cannot change it. To correct an incorrect purchase date, work with your finance team to either:

  • Reverse the posted acquisition in the general ledger and re-post it with the correct purchase date, or

  • Post a manual general ledger journal to move the value to the correct period.

📌Note: The purchase date field is locked by design to maintain posting integrity. Contact your support team if you need assistance with the reversal process.
