What occurs when you edit an asset's registration details?

When editing an asset's registration details in Xero, the system automatically rolls back and recalculates depreciation. This process is essential for ensuring that the asset's financial records reflect its updated information accurately. If the registration details change—such as the asset's name, purchase date, or cost—it can impact how depreciation is calculated going forward.

Recalculating depreciation ensures that any financial statements that include this asset are accurate and up to date based on the new registration information. This recalculation prevents inconsistencies in financial reporting, which could result from errors if the old depreciation values were retained after the asset's details were modified. Therefore, maintaining accurate and current depreciation figures is vital for effective asset management and reporting in Xero.
