+This article provides a workaround that allows the Asset ID to be edited in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
 
 ## Symptoms
 
-A user [creates a new asset](/dynamics365/supply-chain/asset-management/objects/create-objects-based-on-purchase-orders#select-asset-items) using the **Asset Management** page. The asset is created with an **Asset ID** value that the system generates based on the [number sequence](/dynamics365/supply-chain/asset-management/setup-for-objects/enterprise-asset-management-parameters#the-number-sequences-tab) selected on the **Asset management parameters** page. However, the **Asset ID** value can't be edited later, even though the related number sequence has **Manual** set to *Yes* on the **Number sequences** details page.

 ## Cause
 
-This behavior is by design. A user can't edit an existing **Asset ID** because the **Asset ID** is the natural key for the **Assets**. Editing it can cause data corruption and unexpected behavior in case of integrations.

 ## Workaround
 
-To allow a user to edit the **Asset ID** on an existing asset despite the risk of data corruption, a developer would need to extend the `EntAssetObjectTable` form and change the property of the field.

-1. Use Chain of Command (CoC) to change the control property through calling the `allowEdit()` method of the control and passing `false` as an argument.
-1. Create an extension class and extend the  `init()` form method to programmatically allow editing of the field after the `next()` call.
