Asset Accounting – Legacy data transfer – migrate asset with quantity

Estimated read time 2 min read

When migrating asset quantities, errors can occur if the template isn’t filled out properly. To help clarify the process, asset quantity migration can be divided into three scenarios, allowing adjustments based on actual business needs:

Scenario 1: Legacy Data Transfer at the End of the Fiscal Year

○ Legacy Data Transfer (LDT) Date: 12/31/2024

○ Open Fiscal Year: 2025

For this scenario, you need to complete the STARTQUANTITY field. The system will set the asset value date to 12/31/2024. Make sure the capitalization date is before 12/31/2024.

 

Scenario 2: Legacy Data Transfer During the Fiscal Year (for Data up to and Including 2025)

○ Legacy Data Transfer (LDT) Date: 3/1/2024

○ Open Fiscal Year: 2025

Here, you need to fill in STARTQUANTITY, and the system will use 1/1/2024 as the asset value date. The capitalization date should be earlier than 1/1/2025.

 

Scenario 3: Legacy Data Transfer During the Fiscal Year (for Data from 2025)

○ Legacy Data Transfer (LDT) Date: 3/1/2025

○ Open Fiscal Year: 2025

In this scenario, STARTQUANTITY doesn’t need to be filled in. The capitalization date can be any time in 2025. You need to complete both the header and item tables. Following these guidelines should help in managing the migration process more efficiently and reduce errors.
