Using CIM to Load Fixed-Asset Data

QAD 2017 Enterprise Edition > User Guides > Fixed Assets > Creating and Managing Fixed Assets > Using CIM to Load Fixed-Asset Data

The functions on the CIM Interface Menu (36.15) let you transfer properly formatted data from an external file into the QAD database. This is particularly useful when initially populating the database or when large numbers of changes are required. For more information on CIM, see QAD System Administration User Guide.

You can use either of two programs for loading fixed-asset data using CIM:

• Use Fixed Asset Maintenance to load basic data and specific details such as prior depreciation amounts or to change default values such as the asset life and depreciation method.

• Use Fixed Asset Batch Maintenance to load basic data for 25 asset records at a time. These records can then be modified as needed in Fixed Asset Maintenance.
