How to Delete an Asset

• Permissions Needed:

  Only users with "Admin" or "Delete Assets" permissions can delete assets. Check your permissions if you don’t see the delete option.
   

• Check Asset Status:

  • Assets that are "In-Transit" (transferred but not yet confirmed delivered) cannot be deleted.
    
    
     
  • Assets that have been transferred at least once can only be deleted if the company setting for asset deletion is enabled.
    
    
     

• Follow Below Steps to Delete an Asset:

  • Click on Assets tab to open the asset list view.
    
    
     
  • Select one or multiple assets to delete at once.
    
    
     

  • Now click on Delete icon to delete the selected assets.
    
    

     

• Bulk Deletion:

  • You can delete more than one asset at a time from the asset list view. 
     

• After Deletion:

  • All history, transfers, tracking, service records, and attachments for the asset are permanently deleted.
  • Any alerts for the deleted asset are cleared.
  • The asset’s scan code, inventory number, or serial number can be reused for new assets.
     

• Alternative:

  • If you want to keep the asset’s history, consider marking it as "Disposed" or "Retired" instead of deleting it.

How to Delete a Kit (Storage Asset)

• Important:
  • Before deleting a kit (storage asset), make sure all subordinate (child) items are transferred to another location. They will no longer be listed as part of the kit after deletion.
     

• Follow the Same Steps as for Assets:

  • Click on Assets tab to open the asset list view.
    
    
     
  • Select one or multiple Kits (storage assets) to delete at once.
    
    
     
  • Now click on Delete icon to delete the selected asset(s).
    
    
     

Important:

• Storage Assets:
  • Cannot be deleted if they still have associated items (child assets or quantity items).
  • If child assets are in "Disposed," "Retired," or "Lost" status, temporarily set them to "Operational" to edit or remove them.
  • Make sure the storage asset is not present in any inventory or export reports before deletion.
     
• GPS Tags:
  • If an asset or kit has a GPS tag, deleting it will automatically de-link the tag, making it available for reassignment.

Note: If you cannot delete an asset or kit due to system restrictions, contact your system administrator or support team for help.
