AM500 - Asset Conversion Use this program to convert asset information from a non-Lawson product to the Lawson Asset Management product. This conversion program converts the asset, item, and asset book(s) information from the following three files: Asset Conversion (AMASSETCNV), Asset Item Conversion (AMASTITCNV), and Asset Book Conversion (AMASTBKCNV). All three files need to be populated during the same conversion process. It is not possible to populate these files at different times since the conversion number must be the same number for the asset, item, and asset books, and asset number assignment is done when this conversion program is run. This program also lets you convert non-Lawson attributes to attributes in the LAWSON INSIGHT Asset Management system, using information in the Asset Attribute Conversion (AMASTMXCNV) file. You can convert attributes when you add new assets or attach attributes to existing assets. The attribute portion of the conversion does not need to be run at the same time as the new asset conversion, because the conversion number is saved whenever new assets are converted. Edits on the Conversion Number field prevent users from using duplicate conversion numbers and duplicating assets. This program converts the information from the conversion files into the Asset (AMASSET), Asset Item (AMASTITEM), Asset Book (AMASTBOOK), and Asset Attributes (AMASTMXVAL) files. Any errors encountered can be corrected online using the appropriate conversion adjustment program: AM96.1 (Asset Conversion Adjustment), AM97.1 (Item Conversion Adjustment), AM98.1 (Asset Book Conversion Adjustment), and AM94.1 (Attribute Conversion Adjustment). You must run AM170 (Processing Release) to update the new assets. All information converted can be adjusted using the Asset Adjustment program (AM20.2, AM20.3, and AM20.4). No journal entries are created for any assets converted. Updated Files AMACCOUNT - Used to validate accounts. AMACCTGRP - Used to validate account groups. AMASSET - Primary file updated.
