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

• 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)
