Fixed Asset abbreviations when importing

Posted on by 75,730

I am creating a SQL script to create the macros to import fixed asset GENERAL and BOOK information.  Looking at the template for BOOK I see:

SLO -Depreciation Method

FP -Averaging Convention

NS - Switchover

Is there a guide that list all the accepted abbreviations for these three fixed asset properties?

    Hello Richard, 

    Based on what you noted, Are you creating a script to generate the output for use in the asset import\export tool? If so, please see the below

    1. Go to Tools>Utilities>Fixed Assets>Asset Import\Export
    2. Click Help>About this window
    3. Click the option "Guidlines for importing asset information".
    4. At the bottom of the page you will see "Field mappings for importing asset information" click this

    This page will have the full spec sheet for importing assets. as well as link to field values.
