Import fixed assets

Importing an asset means adding an asset with accumulated depreciation to Visma Net.
To add an asset with accumulated depreciation manually, you need to switch the Fixed assets workspace to the initialisation mode.
Then, by using the Fixed assets (FA303000) window, you add a new asset record, and specify asset’s parameters including the accumulated depreciation amount and the last depreciation period.

1. Go to the Fixed assets preferences (FA101000) window.
2. In the Posting settings section, clear the Update general ledger check box to turn on initialisation mode for the Fixed assets workspace.
3. Click .
4. Go to the Fixed assets (FA303000) window.
5. For each asset you want to add, do the following:
   1. Optional: In the Description field, type the description of the asset.
   2. In the Asset class field of the General settings tab, select the class of the asset.

      This causes the system to fill in the settings associated with the asset class.

   3. Select the property type.
   4. Clear the Hold check box to make the asset active.
   5. In the Receipt date field, enter the date of the purchase.
   6. Make sure the Depreciate check box is selected.
   7. In the Date placed in service field, enter the date when the asset has been placed in use.
      The system will calculate the depreciation of the asset starting from this date.
   8. In the Orig. acquisition cost field, enter the original cost of acquiring the asset.

      The original acquisition cost is used as the basis for depreciation of the asset.

      CAUTION:
      After you save the asset for the first time, you won't be able to change the depreciation basis, even if you change the original acquisition cost.
   9. Optional: In the Salvage amount field, enter the expected book value at the end of the useful life of the asset.
   10. Optional: Enter the replacement cost of the asset.
   11. In the Department field of the Tracking information section, select the department of the asset.
   12. On the Balance tab, in the Last depr. period column, enter the period of the last depreciation.
   13. In the Accum. depr. column, type the accumulated depreciation amount.
   14. Click .

       In the Asset ID field, you can see the asset identifier generated by the system.

   15. On the Transaction history tab, release the acquisition transactions.
       For more information, see: Release multiple fixed asset transactions
       The transactions have the Unposted status even after release.
   16. In the window toolbar, click Actions - Calculate depreciation.

       On the Depreciation history tab, you can see that no depreciation is shown before the amount that you entered in the Accum. depr. column.
       The system depreciates the remaining cost until the end of the useful life of the asset.

6. On the Finance tab, click Fixed assets.
   In the left pane, select the Configuration tab, and then navigate the Fixed assets preferences (FA101000) window.
7. In the Posting settings section, select the Update general ledger check box to turn off initialisation mode for the Fixed assets workspace.
