Loading Retired Assets

You can add retired assets and asset history to the database. The load type ARA is used specifically for loading historical information for assets that are already retired.

For this load type, the Transaction Loader inserts records into the Asset field and, if applicable, Asset Custodian, Asset Location, Warranty, Attribute, License, Comments, PI Asset History, Parent Asset, and Acquisition Detail fields. It creates Book and Cost rows, as well as one row of accumulated depreciation for each book, all using the transaction type ADD. After modifying some of the values in INTFC_FIN and changing the transaction type to RET, the Transaction Loader inserts Cost and Retirement rows. The status of the assets is set to D (Disposed) for retired assets.

To load retired assets:

• Consider prerequisites for retiring assets.

• Populate loader tables.

• Review the retired asset data.
