Background Processing of Fixed Assets

To optimize application and database servers, mechanisms have been implemented to govern the usage of SuiteScript. SuiteScript thresholds are based on the volume of activity that a company's users can manually generate, as well as a provision for automated functions.

This is why, in the Fixed Assets Management SuiteApp, processes for FAM transactions and report generation are carried out in the background, and are controlled by scheduled server scripts and process records.

processes (Asset Creation, Asset Proposal, Asset Generation, Asset Depreciation, Asset Revaluation, Asset Disposal, Asset Split, Asset Transfer) (Asset Register Report, Asset Summary Report, and Depreciation Schedule Report)

To view the status of a process, you can look at the FAM Process List.

Fixed Assets Custom Plug-In

Starting with Fixed Assets Management 2017.2, the custom plug-in nsFamObject applied to FAM asset transactions (Proposal, Creation, Revaluation, and Disposal) is no longer supported. This custom plug-in uses BG Process architecture which was replaced by FAM Process Manager in version 2017.2.
