Mass Additions

You can create mass additions from Oracle Payables or other payables applications, Oracle Project Costing or other asset applications, and Oracle Receiving.

Create Assets from Payables

To create mass additions from Payables:

  • Run the Create Mass Additions process in Payables to create mass additions from invoice information in Payables.

    The Create Mass Additions process places the new mass additions in the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table, which is separate from the main Assets tables.

  • Review and prepare the mass additions using the Assets user interface or a spreadsheet before the assets become asset additions.

Create Assets from Receiving

To create mass additions from Receiving:

  • Run the Transfer Receipts to Mass Additions process in Oracle Maintenance.

    Prepare the newly created source lines for your receipt in the corporate book associated with the inventory organization into which you received the goods. The source lines for your receipt are created in the corporate book associated with the inventory organization into which you received the goods.

  • Ensure that the invoice is matched to the purchase order or receipt and that the invoice is fully accounted before it's imported into Assets.

Create Asset Additions from Another Payables System

You can easily integrate Oracle Assets with your other payables systems by doing the following:

  • Develop your own program to add mass additions to the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table.

  • Use either the Assets user interface or a spreadsheet to review and prepare the mass addition lines before they become assets.

Create Assets from Project Costing

To create assets from Project Costing:

  • Collect CIP costs for capital assets you're building in Project Costing.

  • When you finish building a CIP asset, capitalize the associated costs as asset lines in Project Costing.

  • Run the Transfer Assets to Oracle Assets process to send valid capital asset lines from Project Costing to the Mass Additions interface table in Assets.

  • Review these mass addition lines in Assets and determine whether to create assets from them.

Convert Assets from Other Asset Systems

To convert assets from a legacy asset system:

  • Use the Mass Additions interface to automate the asset additions from the information in the other feeder systems.

  • Use the Mass Additions process to convert your assets from a legacy system.

Note: Plan your conversion carefully and thoroughly, because you can't undo it.
