Assets

Query, insert and update assets for a Xero organization.

Table-Specific Information

Creating Assets

An asset can be created with only an AssetName and an AssetNumber. This will create a draft asset with blank settings for purchase date and price, serial number and all other values.

INSERT INTO Assets(AssetName, AssetNumber) VALUES ('Corporate van', 'FA-0042')

Updating Assets

Like asset types, an asset's value can be measured with either a depreciation rate or an estimated lifetime. Once these values have been set, you can only change between the two by setting the other to null:
UPDATE Assets
SET BookDepreciationSetting_DepreciationRate = 0.12,
    BookDepreciationSetting_EffectiveLifeYears = null
WHERE AssetId = '46c7f1f4-7cdb-47d3-8772-2796d0b83e87'

Registering Assets

To move an asset from the draft to the registered state, you must assign these properties on it:

  1. AssetTypeId
  2. PurchaseDate
  3. PurchasePrice
  4. BookDepreciationSetting_DepreciationStartDate
  5. BookDepreciationSetting_AveragingMethod
  6. Either a BookDepreciationSetting_DepreciationRate or a BookDepreciationSetting_EffectiveLifeYears

Then you can update the AssetStatus field to the value "Registered".

Disposing Assets

Disposing of assets is not supported through the API.
