Item update adjustment interface process

The Asset Management application lets you interface a non-Lawson file of item records to existing assets in Asset Management. This interface process works similar to the regular interface process, with these variations:

• You can use this process only to add new items to existing released assets. You cannot use this process to add new items to a new asset or to interface new assets and items.

• The fields in the non-Lawson item adjustment file must exactly match the position, size, and data types of the fields in the Lawson Asset Item Adjustment Interface file (AMASSETINV, DBAMITN).

• The asset records that you are adjusting with this interface process can be any released assets in the Asset Management application, regardless of the method used in adding the records.

• After you run Item Update Adjustment Interface (AM551) successfully, the interface asset records are deleted from the Lawson interface file and become unreleased, adjusted asset records in the Asset Management application. You can modify the records in Asset Management until you release the assets.

If an item is part of the physical inventory, you must generate and apply a bar code to it, then specify the bar code, location, and location detail manually. You can do so at several stages in the process:

• In the non-Lawson file

• In the AMASSETINV, DBAMITN file (using AM51.1)

• In Asset Management after you have interfaced the item record.
