Hi, I have been using the very simple asset functionality of ErpNext before the development of this full-fledged asset management module.
Probably perfect for large companies with lots of expensive assets.

For a smaller company I feel it is an overkill.
Bought a $2000 new freezer and thought to give it a shot.
After hours of trying, reading the documentation, again and again I have given up.

Asset categories, all kind of in between and temporary accounts, depreciation schedules, and so on and so on…just to complex for the user running a small company who just want to record an asset.
Making manually a depreciation voucher at the end of the year (5 years 20% of Purchase price here in NL) is not such a big deal.

I have deleted my trials an will record the freezer as on non-itemized item and debit (or credit ?? :slight_smile: ) the fixture and furniture account.

An simplified procedure to record an asset would be appreciated

Unable to delete the asset because it is linked with an asset activity. When logged in as an Asset Manager, there is no option to delete the asset activity, and in the Role Permission Manager, there is no delete permission checkbox for any role regarding asset activity. How can an Asset Manager delete an asset activity?

I worked on something similar where I had to track a bunch of 3D models, textures, and audio files for different projects. I added custom fields to the Asset doctype to store metadata like project name, usage rights, and version. This helped a lot in managing game development assets effectively without mixing things up across teams or versions.
