# How to Merge Fixed Assets in COUNT

COUNT allows you to merge multiple draft fixed assets into a single registered asset. This is useful when a single physical asset has been purchased across multiple transactions (for example, equipment, installation, and accessories).
This feature helps ensure your fixed asset register stays clean and accurate while maintaining a complete cost basis.

## **When to Use Asset Merging**
You should merge fixed assets when:
* One asset was purchased in multiple transactions
* Related costs (e.g. shipping, installation) were recorded separately
* Draft assets were created automatically from different invoices
* You want to consolidate everything into one fixed asset record

## **Step 1: Open Fixed Assets**
1. Go to **Accounting** in the left-hand menu.
2. Click **Fixed Assets**.
3. Locate the draft assets you want to merge.

## **Step 2: Merge the Drafts**
1. Click **Merge Drafs**.
2. Select the draft asset you want to merge and the asset you want to merge it into.
3. Confirm and click **Merge Drafs.**
COUNT will combine the selected draft assets into a single fixed asset record.

## **Step 4: Review the Combined Asset**
After merging, open the newly created asset and verify:
* Total cost reflects all merged transactions
* Depreciation settings are correct
* Useful life and start date are accurate
* Asset classification is correct

## **Step 5: Confirm Depreciation Setup**
Once merged, COUNT will:
* Recalculate the total asset cost
* Generate or update the depreciation schedule
* Automatically post depreciation based on the combined value

|| Important Notes
* Only draft assets or compatible assets can be merged
* Once merged, individual draft assets cannot be separated
* The merged asset will inherit the depreciation setup of the main asset (unless updated)
