Bassets eDepreciation – Data Import

Posted on by

Basset eDepreciation - Data ImportThe Bassets eDepreciation Data Import Module will easily import your existing fixed asset data. All selected fixed asset records will be imported from either Excel, ASCII text files or other fixed asset software programs.  A great feature is our on-screen preview which displays the existing fixed asset data in a simple spreadsheet like grid to assist in the field mapping. Bassets also allows for customized mapping of each field. A user defined import map allows each field in the source fixed asset data to be directed to the corresponding Bassets field and you can preview user selected sample fixed asset data for each field. No need to worry about mistakes because Bassets will verify the accuracy of all depreciation methods, first year conventions and recovery periods based upon the property type and acquisition date and then check each fixed asset record against the defined field lengths. When you process the import Bassets calculates fixed asset depreciation to tie out with existing total accumulated depreciation. It imports only the required depreciation schedules and will automatically build drop down or pick lists for any Master List fields.
