Response

Updated category

data
object

A fixed-asset category (Buildings, Machinery, Vehicles, Computer Equipment, etc.). Categories may carry default depreciation method + useful-life + MACRS class + GL account routing; assets created with a category_id inherit those defaults automatically. System-seeded categories carry is_system: true and cannot be edited or deleted. Scope: assets:read / assets:write / assets:delete.
