Hii,

I have more than 1k fixed assets to upload in AX 2012 R2 in excel file. 
In excel file I have  following columns,

Fixed Asset group
Asset Name
Quantity
Business Unit
Physical Location
Employee
Acquisition Date

Existing fixed asset numbers are generated based on Fixed Asset groups i.e. FA of group Furniture starts with FUR-000215, Computes starts with COMP-0002514.

I am uploading from excel file by using Data Import Export Framework. How I can auto generate FA numbers based on FA groups. What settings required.

Thanks,

    It didn't work with me. So in excel file I manually generated next Asset Ids based on Asset Group and Number Sequence and imported through Data Import Export Framework.

    Hi Rana,

    I'm not sure if it is supported on Asset numbering, but usually you can go to the staging fields, add the asset number and enable the auto number option. This works for all numbers setup on the parameters forms. Assets numbers based on groups is a bit different, but you can test it.
