Asset Class

Introduction/Purpose

The Asset Class helps define and categorize different types of assets based on their characteristics, depreciation behavior, insurance, and tracking methods. By configuring asset classes, organizations can automate asset management workflows like depreciation, warranty handling, insurance, and asset numbering. It serves as the backbone for consistent asset data entry and reporting.
