Import File Layout

This topic discusses the layout of an ASCII input file that is used to import fixed asset disposal edit records.

An import file is usually generated using the Export Asset Disposals screen.

Note: The input file layout may contain fields that are available only in Costpoint Advanced. If you are using Costpoint Essentials, these fields are excluded from the import process and may be left blank or null when you create the input file.

Header

The file layout includes one header row per file, then one row for each disposal record.
