Attribute Groups - Setup Window

Use this window to set up different groups of attributes for your fixed assets.

In each group, you can define up to 64 attributes of different types, as follows:

By assigning an attribute group to an asset class, you can, therefore, link the attribute group to your fixed assets. The active attributes in the group will then be displayed in Asset Master Data Window - Fixed Assets Tab: Attributes Subtab.

To open this window, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration Setup Financials Fixed Assets Attribute Groups .

The value you enter here is taken to the asset master data as the default attribute value.
