Certain fields, including 'Current NBV', 'Last Dep. Period', 'Last Dep. Amount', and 'Last Dep. Date', are not designed to be manually edited once the depreciation process has begun. However, these fields can be updated via CSV import if the asset has not started depreciating. If you need to make changes to an asset that is midlife or has already started depreciating, you may need to re-import the assets with the correct fields. When importing, ensure that the 'Run SuiteScripts' box is checked under advanced options. This is crucial for the correct setup of the assets. If you're referring to the 'Precompute Depreciation Values' script in the system setup, that's the one that will create depreciation history "in the future". If you do not have any errors under 'Background Processions > Status', then your setup is complete. If you need to delete the acquisition and depreciation history for a fixed asset and generate a new one, it should not impact other fixed assets. However, bear in mind that undoing a month of depreciation is not as simple as just deleting a depreciation history record in NetSuite FAM. There are also a few fields that need to be updated on the asset header. Please note that the Fixed Assets Management (FAM) in NetSuite can be complex and requires careful handling, especially when dealing with midlife assets and depreciation history.
