This is an important decision. Once setup is complete, this decision cannot be undone without a re-implementation. Here are some important points that will help you decide:
- If you create assets at the top level, you will be able to transfer assets across entities and you will only run depreciation one time per month for all entities. If you create assets at the entity level, you will run depreciation separately for each entity and you will not be able to transfer assets across entities.
- If you have multiple base currencies, you must create assets at the entity level
- If your accounts payable bills (or purchasing vendor invoices) are created at the top level, your assets must also be created at the top level. If your accounts payable bills (or purchasing vendor invoices) are created at the entity level, your assets must also be created at the entity level.
