Additional Information
The current book value of an asset will automatically be adjusted as transactions are made throughout the life of the asset. Modifying the current book value outside of those normal transactions has the potential to cause reconciliation issues. If you're unsure as to whether or not that field should be updated, please contact Munis Financial Equipment Support to review the asset.
