If assets were already entered in the current year, they’ll need to be copied from the client created in Step 1 by taking the following steps.
- Open the client that was created in the previous step 1.
- Select theIn Serviceheading in theAsset Listwindow. All of the assets placed in service in the current year will appear sequentially in the asset list.
- Highlight all the current year additions by selecting the 1st asset placed in service in the current year, holding down the Shift key on your keyboard and choosing the last asset.
- SelectEdit, thenCopy Asset.
- Open the original client, access the activity, selectEdit, thenPaste Asset. If assets need to be copied from multiple activities, repeat steps 2 – 5 for each activity. In addition, only 1,000 assets can be copied at once. If more than 1,000 assets need to be copied from any activity, they must be copied in groups of 1,000 or fewer assets.
