Asset Types

You use the Asset Types program to maintain asset type codes for assets.

Asset type codes are used to distinguish between the different classes of assets on file. For example Land and Buildings, Furniture and Fittings, Motor Vehicles, Plant and Machinery, etc.

An asset type must be defined against each asset (Assets).

The Browse on Asset Types listview displays the asset type codes currently defined.
