why is department read only on fixed asset records?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The 'Department' field is read-only on Fixed Asset records in NetSuite because it is a system-defined field that is automatically populated based on the department associated with the asset at the time of creation. This is a part of the Fixed Asset Management (FAM) bundle in NetSuite, which is designed to maintain the integrity and accuracy of asset tracking. If you need to change the department associated with a fixed asset, you would need to perform an asset transfer. This is done through the Fixed Assets > Transactions > Asset Transfer path. This allows you to move the asset to the correct department. However, it's important to note that this doesn't change the original department associated with the asset, but rather creates a new record of the asset under the new department. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
