Hi friends! We have vendor bills coming in from an external system that only contain one expense line that represents the total of the purchase. For example, if we buy 20 laptops at $3k each, we get an expense line for $180k. Is there a best practice for how to easily generate 20 individual assets from that vendor bill, in this example? It seems like we need to run asset split 20 times, but maybe I'm misunderstanding some of that functionality.

you want to use item when buying fixed assets. expense does not have quantity. you can split that one asset into however many you want when you propose it/them. your option is also valid, it is the matter of

Agree with Karina Or you import 20 assets through csv and link the vendor bill afterwards.. not the best way but sometimes it can be more efficient

@Audrey Guilloux once it's linked manually, the source transaction isn't captured anymore in the Asset Proposal Generation?

Exact, but since you have created assets ahead you don't need them in the Asset Proposal Generation anymore
