How to: Set Up Component Lists for Main Assets
You can group your fixed assets into main assets and their components. For example, you may have a production machine that consists of many parts, which you want to group in this manner.
Both the main asset and all its components must be set up as individual fixed asset cards. After you have set up a component list, Microsoft Dynamics NAV automatically fills in the Main Assets/Component and Components of Main Asset fields on the fixed asset cards.
To set up component lists for main assets
In the Search box, enter Fixed Assets, and then choose the related link.
Select the fixed asset that is the main asset.
On the Navigate tab, in the Fixed Asset group, choose Main Asset Components. The Main Asset Components window appears.
In the FA No. field, choose the field to see the list of fixed assets. Select the relevant asset, and then choose the OK button to copy it to the field.
Note
You must set up a fixed asset card for each component before you can assign it to a main asset. You cannot delete a main asset until you have removed its components from the component list. In the Fixed Asset Setup window, you can select the Allow Posting to Main Assets field to allow posting to a main asset.
