The Bulk Assets take on is part of the initial setting up of a ledger and as such is deemed a Consulting exercise. However, should the user prefer to process the Take On on their own, the following process may be used.
Note: that the Access APS Support Team is not obliged to resolve issues as a result of this process as this is deemed to be outside the scope of Support.
When adding assets in bulk, users can try the Asset Take On process.
This process is useful for users who wish to add / transfer assets in bulk, from one system / ledger into another; and maintain the assets in XPA's asset register going forward.
The Asset Take On is an alternative that will eliminate the need for users to add an asset one at a time. However, it does not necessarily reduce the time at which assets are added to XPA. Users are advised to use discretion when selecting this method over manually adding assets one by one. Generally, users will find that when adding 10 assets, for example, one-by-one manual addition via asset register is quicker than the Asset Take On. Conversely, the process is very useful when adding 500 assets, for example, into the ledger.
