Hi all,

Does anyone know if you can safely, manually delete an Asset that was created from a proposal but has not yet depreciated anything? The Delete Assets function does not allow deleting assets created from a proposal

Hi <@UTWSQ7B7D>, can you delete the proposal record and then delete the asset?

*Solution*
1. Navigate to *Fixed Assets* &gt; *Searches* &gt; *Proposal History*
2. _*Note:* Another way to see the list of Asset Proposals is by searching "Page: FAM Asset Proposal" via Global Search._
3. _FAM Asset List Created From Proposals list:_ Find the *Asset record* to be deleted
4. Click *Edit*
5. _FAM Asset Proposal:_ Hover over *Actions*
6. Click *Delete*
7. _Are you sure you want to delete this record?:_ Click *OK*
Once the Asset Proposal record is deleted, and if there are no associated Journal Entries, users may proceed with the Delete Assets process again.

Thanks mate, yep we figured this out. You can Delete all the related records to the asset (which includes the proposal) and delete it all manually. Not sure  why this isnt managed by the Delete Assets function lol

Ah nice - yeah seems like it could have been designed better
