Documentation

Definition

Set this indicator, if you want the asset to be managed with a history. If this indicator is set, the logical database saves all annual values and transactions for assets, from initial acquisition up to the reporting date.

In addition, active history management has the following results:

• The asset will be identified in reporting as an asset chart (Infosystem -> Report selection -> Asset history).
• The asset and its associated values/transactions can only be deleted from the database using archiving programs if the asset is deactivated, since the asset chart requires all data in the online database.
