Enabling Accounting Integration

This Feature Console page integrates Fixed Asset Management with Accounting.

Note:

We recommend enabling this feature if you are using Foundations messaging between FAM and Accounting, which has been deprecated in Spring 2023 and will be removed in a future release. The Accounting Integration feature enables you to transition to the new integration between Fixed Asset Management and Accounting.

Warning:

Accounting Integration does not support custom field mappings provided by Foundations Messaging. If you enable the Accounting Integration feature, Fixed Asset Management will stop using the existing custom mappings.

Work through the steps in the order shown.

• For each automatic step, click Perform. When the step has completed, the Status changes from “Not Done” to “Done”.
• For each manual step, follow the instructions on screen, then click Mark As Done when the step is complete. More information about performing the manual steps is provided below.

When you have completed all the steps, use the Status slider in the Feature section to enable the feature.
