System Level Fixed Asset Cost Type
This option needs to be able to handle more than one Work ID. Currently it looks like it can be but does not work.

This is a Valid Point, and looks like a bug in the system.
An Example of where the problem currently lies is that you may have Assets defined in Workids 001 and 002, but the default Asset Cost types define Default G/L Information for Workid 001. When you then are creating a Purchase Order, Invoice or Journal Item Entry against an Asset (where you enter the Asset Workid, the Asset Number (within the Asset Workid), and an Asset Cost Type) in Workid 002, the Default Asset Cost Type defines G/L Workid and Account Number for Workid 001, which is probably incorrect.
The only way currently around this is to redefine the Asset Cost Type G/L information (Workid and G/L Account Number) at the Asset Classification or Asset Override level where the Default Cost Types (and associated G/L data) can be refined at the Asset Workid level.
There should be System wide Asset Cost Types (without the Associated Default Workid or Default G/L Account information) and Asset Cost Types can then be redefined at the Workid level to include the G/L Information (as long as Asset Cost Type defined at the Workid level is a Valid Asset Cost Type defined at the System Level).
