Hey guys! We started implementing FAM, we had all the FAM in spreadsheets and used to csv import the depreciation journals. Now with the FAM module, we want to create these mid-life assets and stop using the spreadsheets as a paralel control, Suite Help says I have to import the depreciation history, but, I'd already depreciated trhought journals before aquire the FAM module. Won't importing this history mess with my accounts?

You mean your assets are fully depreciated.

I have both cases, fully depreciated and also depreciating

You've to import depreciation history record to tell netsuite how much asset have already depreciated and NBV etc. so that netsuite create new schedule correctly for the future depreciation.

Basically, before aquiring the FAM our analysts entered the vendors bills, this bill filled an asset account. Our accountant has a spreadsheet with all assest we have, he/she prepares every month a csv with the depreciation of this assests and load it on NetSuite, so our balance are right, if we import the history our balance will be messed, won't it?

The depreciation history import is only meant to record the cumulative depreciation of the asset to date. it will not mess your GL accounts as it will not create journal entries for it.

@Dean I'm struggling a lot to import and start the depreciation. I'm importing the Asset.csv, getting the FAM ID and Name and then importing the DHR, but when I try to run the depreciation for August, all stages are "Not Required"
