Hi

Am unable to understand your requirement. Are you trying to say that you
want to create your asset master record at the time of receipt of the asset
( using a goods receipt note )? If it is so, then , I guess , in my
opinion, the process is unlikely and also not prudent. In an integrated
environment involving many departments using the same data, it is wiser to
create common shareable data such as the Purchase Order, Item related
details being ordered, related vendor details etc......the earlier the
better so that ambiguities at a later date in a department / more
departments can be avoided.

If your organization needs an asset and has decided to acquire it by
ordering it on a vendor, then the asset and vendor related specs need to be
captured as early as possible so that there are no ambiguities later in
understanding the requirement. How are you going to spell your requirement
to your vendor in the purchase order if you do not have the details of the
asset?

The general practice is to create an asset master record, vendor master
record ( if it does not exist already ) and then place the purchase order.
The option of creating the asset master record at the time while placing the
purchase order is also possible.

I do not understand your requirement of creating an asset master record
while receipting the asset. If it be so, then how are you going to
communicate your asset requirement to the vendor ? Beats me !
