been told that populating the Acquisition Date with the actual past

Nazim Lalji -

Thanks for the DIEF process for FA
FA assets are uploaded while running the depreciation, period depreciated
appears in negative like -1 or -6
thats scary and creating a issue when we have to review the life of asset.
please can you assist in this regards, "Am I missing anything in upload"
thanks and regards

there,
Hi
I am facing a trick issue when do it in France, as i must have some new eld
called Derogatory, and this one is making the upload via my current
Processing group impossible.
The scenario is basically having 2 co-related Value Models per asset.... does
anyone faced such issue before?

thanks in advance

Hi Shafeaa,

How are you planning to upload "AssetBook" details and "AssetTrans"?

If i dont discover how to do it by this module ill use "Excel Add-in".

Best regards,

Afonso
