Import/export template > Module Fixed Assets > Import/export template FASX3 (Fixed Assets X3) 

The mono-line import template FASX3 enables the import of assets from X3 130 or X3 V5 as one line per asset including all together the asset info and the depreciation info.

This import is only possible for asset creations and does not allow any updates.

The processing associated with the template is IMPFAX3. The processing source is made available for customization purpose.

Mandatory fields in the template

List of the fields imported from the import file

SEEINFO  Since the import is mono-line, only FXDASSETS table is automatically updated through the import tool. Info with no matches in FXDASSETS table, such as depreciation info stored in DEPREC table, are conveyed through generic fields named *1 to *99. In this case, IMPFASX3 processing manages these fields.

SEEWARNING If the field is missing from the import file, or is not completed, its default value is: void for alphanumerical fields or zero for numerical fields.

Specific information

Import of ledgers

Group of fixed assets

If parameter CREACGGRP - automatic group creation authorizes it, the import process automatically creates the imported groups that did not exist into the group table.

Dimension types

If parameters CRECCE1...4 - Automatic creation for section 1...4 authorize it, the import process automatically creates the imported the dimensions types that did not exist.
The field *70 for dimension type 1, 71* for dimension type 2, etc., if specified, is used for the description of the dimension

Import of depreciation info.

As this template is designed to import X3 assets, both the accounting and fiscal plans are mandatory, whereas plans 3, 4 and 5 are optional.

Import of locations

In Sage FRP FA, locations follow this naming convention:
<Geographical site>/<Building>/<Floor>/<Room>

If field *8 which corresponds to the building is specified, the import process assigns to field LOC Localization the value: GEOFCY/*8/X/X.
For instance, if the imported site is SG1 and field *8 is BAT1, then LOC Localization field of the imported asset has the value: SG1/BAT1/X/X.
SEEINFO If field *8 is not specified, then the asset is created without any location.

Parameter CRELOC - Auto location creation when set to Yes enables the automatic creation of:

  • building *8 in the miscellaneous diverse table 604, its name is the value for field *9
  • floor "X" in the miscellaneous diverse table 605, named "X"
  • location GEOFCY/*8/X/X in table LOCALIZAT, named "X"

SEEINFO LOC Localization field will be specified even though the building, the floor or the location does not exist in the miscellaneous tables 604, 605 and LOCALIZAT table.

Import of issued assets

The assets issued during the current fiscal year or a previous one, may be imported.

The value of ISSDAT field - Issue date - indicates whether the imported asset is an issued one.
If this date falls before the beginning of the current year for at least one of the company contexts, the asset is regarded as issued during a previous fiscal year. Otherwise, the asset is regarded as issued during the current fiscal year.

During current fiscal year

The import process for assets issued during the current fiscal year consists of two steps:
1/ Creation of assets without issue info.
2/ Execution if the issue action in silent mode.

This process ensures the proper creation of issue events at the end of the import, and the potential issue cancellation.

The mandatory elements to specify for the import file, are:

  • ISSDAT: Disposal date
  • ISSTYP: Reason for issue (see the available values in local menu 3159)
  • ISSAMT: Issue amount If the value is 0, the sales amount type is set to: None. Otherwise, to: Amount to enter

The issue rule is set to: On the specified date, but it can be changed when specifying ISSDATRUL in the import file (in this case this field must also be added to the template).

Calculations related to issues (Net book value on day of issue, +/-values, etc.) are performed through the issue business action.

SEEINFO Error message no asset selected after an attempt to issue an imported asset shows either an error in the issue parameters (for instance invalid issue reason), or a functional error (disabled imported asset, issue date falling before purchase date…).

During a previous FY

Importing an asset issued in a previous fiscal year consists in importing the asset plus its issue info. This does not trigger any calculation, info on the issue (net value on issue date, +/- values, etc.) must be mentioned in the import file.

The elements to specify for the import file, are:

  • ISSDAT: Disposal date
  • ISSAMT(x): Issue amount for each plan (ISSAMT(0) for the accounting plan, ISSAMT(1) for the fiscal plan, …). If the amount is 0, the value is set to the amount of the accounting plan.
  • GAL(x): +/- value amount for each plan (GAL(0) for the accounting plan, GAL(1) for the fiscal plan, …).
  • SHOGAL(x): Short-term +/- value amount for each plan (SHOGAL(0) for the accounting plan, SHOGAL(1) for the fiscal plan, …).
  • LNGGAL(x): Long-term +/- value amount for each plan (LNGGAL(0) for the accounting plan, LNGGAL(1) for the fiscal plan, …).
  • IMLRVEISS(x): Depreciation increase on issue for each plan (IMLRVEISS(0) for the accounting plan, IMLRVEISS(1) for the fiscal plan, …).

Field *3 specified the issue type.  If this field is not completed, the issue type is set to Sales. In that case, the possible choices are:

  • C: in this case the reason is set to Sales.
  • R: in this case the reason is set to Scrap.
  • X3 format: string <Sales reason>_<Scrapping reason> which then specifies the issue reason: Sales or Scrap.

SEEINFO  When an asset is created, a record is created in DEPREC depreciation table in the current period of the current fiscal year. As an asset issued in a previous fiscal year cannot keep a depreciation record in the current period, the record is relocated in the fiscal year corresponding to the issue date, even though this fiscal year is not defined for the context.


Import of the main/component assets

The import process requires two steps: one for the calculation of the main asset and another for the linking between this main asset and the component asset.

Recommended process:
1. Import of the main assets
2. Verification
3. Calculation
4. Backup
5. Import of the main components
6. Verification
7. Calculation
8. Backup

Recommendations for Import

For a smooth recovery of assets prior to the FY, the following guidelines must be applied:

Before import:

Actual import of the company accounting assets.

After export:
