Re: [FAS_equipment_management] Duplicate Asset Creation Work Around

Hi Kara, The duplicate entries were created doing it this way as well. While I was out they did it that way and it still created duplicate entries.

This occurs when an Equipster user tries to create an Asset directly from an Unassigned Transactions rather than assigning the transaction to an existing Asset. In this scenario, the user receives an error onscreen and two copies of the Asset are created instead of just one. HUIT has asked that we do a work around while they address this problem. This work around would be to create the asset first and then assigning the transaction to it, rather than trying to create the Asset directly from the transaction. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
