Register fixed assets once, with a valid class and custodian
For finance teams who want new assets recorded correctly and audit-ready from day one, by asking their AI assistant.
On this page
Connector
Connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Asset setup mistakes become audit findings
Registering a fixed asset means checking it is not already recorded, picking a class that exists and assigning a real location and an active employee as custodian. Mistakes surface later as audit findings.
Without PopdockAI
- Search assets by serial number and description
- Pick a class and location from memory
- Assign a custodian who may have left
- Hear about it from the auditors
With PopdockAI
- Existing assets are searched by serial number and description
- The class, location and custodian are validated
- It asks for a class if none is given
- You preview it, then one asset is created with a depreciation reminder
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Register the fixed asset `{asset-description}` with the details in `{details}`.
Pass `{company}` as the company argument on every call. If `{company}` is empty, leave the company argument out so the connector's default company is used.
**Step 1: Duplicate check**
If a serial number is given, call `business-central-get-fixed-asset` with serial-number set to it. Also call it with description.contains. Show matches and ask whether to continue.
**Step 2: Check references**
* Class: call `business-central-get-fixed-asset` with class-code to confirm the class is in use; if not, warn that the class may not exist.
* Location: call `business-central-get-location` with location-code, or name.contains.
* Custodian: call `business-central-get-employee` with last-name.contains; the employee must have status Active.
**Step 3: Preview and confirm**
Show display-name, number if given, class-code, subclass-code, fixed-asset-location-code, employee-number and serial-number. Ask for confirmation.
**Step 4: Create**
After confirmation call `business-central-create-fixed-asset` once. If a field needs correcting straight away, use `business-central-update-fixed-asset` with the id it returned; existing assets cannot be updated through these tools because no read returns their id.
**Step 5: Confirm the result**
Call `business-central-get-fixed-asset` with asset-number and report it. Remind the user that acquisition cost and depreciation are set up in Business Central.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Do not call any create or update tool until the user has confirmed the exact values shown in the preview.
* Create at most one asset.
**Validation:**
* If no class is given, ask.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Fixed asset accountants
Register assets with valid details
Class, location and custodian are checked against real records, so the register stays clean.
Register a new forklift in Business Central, serial FL-20931, class VEHICLES, location WEST, custodian Sam Patel.
IT asset managers
Record new equipment as it arrives
Log laptops and devices with a serial number and an active custodian in one message.
Add a Lenovo laptop, serial PF3KQ8, class IT, location MAIN, custodian Priya Shah, to Business Central fixed assets.
Facilities managers
Avoid registering the same asset twice
Serial number and description searches catch an asset that is already on the register.
Register the new reception furniture set in Business Central and check it is not already recorded.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You describe the asset and your AI assistant checks Business Central for duplicates and validates the details. Nothing is created until you confirm.
01
Ask
You describe the asset and its details.
02
Check
It searches existing assets by serial number and description.
03
Confirm
It checks class, location and custodian, and you preview the record.
04
Create
It creates one asset, reads it back and reminds you about depreciation.
The outcome
New assets registered once, audit ready
