Instead of FMIS Fixed Assets

Stop renting FMIS Fixed Assets. Own your asset accounting system.

We build your version around your asset classes, month-end review and paperwork. We bring your agreed FMIS records across and run the system for you.

FMIS quotes privately for your users, asset volume, companies and setup. Compare that renewal with a system built around your own register.

What your FMIS quote covers

Separate the register you need from the package you renew

FMIS provides a configurable fixed asset system. Its quote depends on the scope you choose. Start with the records and monthly work your finance team actually uses.

users

User licences

FMIS asks how many user licences you need. Your owned version starts with who prepares the month and who reviews it.

database

Asset volume

The size of your register is part of the quote. Your own records keep costs, residual values and remaining lives together.

building

Separate companies

FMIS asks how many companies you manage. Keep each company and currency separate when reviewing your own balances.

calculator

Accounting scope

Fixed asset accounting, leasing and physical tracking are different requirements. Build the methods and evidence your accountant actually needs.

Setup and training

The vendor quote considers hosting, training and setup. Our setup maps your opening register and checks the first monthly calculation with you.

Switching

How to switch from FMIS Fixed Assets

The move involves exporting a financial-book snapshot from FMIS, mapping its headings, checking opening balances and verifying the new register alongside the old one.

  1. 1

    Export an opening snapshot

    FMIS supports CSV and spreadsheet exports. Export a financial-book snapshot for each company at the agreed opening month end. Report headings vary, so check with FMIS which export includes the asset fields and balances you need. Keep the original export and attachments in your archive. The import preserves source row data, but older transactions and attachments stay separate.

  2. 2

    Map and test the import

    Map the export headings to the fields in the new register, then run the import as a test without saving changes. The free version imports a mapped CSV snapshot. Use the test to see whether rows are accepted and review the counts and balances before loading anything. Agree any additional fields or rules before importing.

  3. 3

    Check flagged rows and balances

    Review any rows the import marks as invalid. The import rejects the whole batch if any rows are invalid, and it will not replace an existing record if the source has changed. Fix the mapped data or agree what to do with those rows, then compare asset counts and opening balances by company and category with FMIS. Load only when you understand the differences.

  4. 4

    Run both side by side

    After loading the opening snapshot, run FMIS and the new register side by side for a short period. Use FMIS as your reference while you check asset counts, balances and the first monthly depreciation result. Ask your accountant to compare the first month with your accounts. Record and resolve differences before you rely on the new register.

  5. 5

    Switch off FMIS Fixed Assets

    When opening balances and the first monthly calculation have been checked and agreed, stop making new updates in FMIS Fixed Assets and use the new register going forward. Keep the original export, older transactions and attachments in your archive, since the free import does not bring them across as a full history. Follow your own retention requirements.

Where the real effort goes

Most of the work is not copying rows. It is mapping your FMIS headings to the new register, agreeing which fields, book rules and review controls you need, and deciding how much transaction history and evidence to migrate. The free version imports a mapped opening snapshot, so keep older transactions and attachments separately unless additional records are agreed. When Enterprise DNA runs it for you, they handle the mapping and agreed migration work.

Questions

Instead of FMIS Fixed Assets, answered

Will our FMIS history come across? expand_more

The free version imports a mapped financial-book opening snapshot from a CSV export. It preserves the imported row data and source details. Retain old transactions and attachments separately. Enterprise DNA agrees the historical evidence and additional records to migrate before the switch.

Will the depreciation match our accounts? expand_more

Compare the first month with your accountant. The free version uses whole-month straight-line book depreciation, with no charge in the disposal month. Your opening balances and remaining lives drive the calculation. Enterprise DNA builds the additional methods and book requirements agreed for your version.

Does this certify our accounting compliance? expand_more

It prepares records and reminders for the responsible accountant. It flags estimate review dates and local evidence policies. It does not issue an accounting opinion, calculate tax or send a journal to your accounting system. Your accountant confirms the applicable rules and reviews the result.

Can we have a screen and proper staff approvals? expand_more

Yes. Enterprise DNA can build the web view and authenticated approval process your team needs, with access matched to each person. The free version records preparer and reviewer names for a trusted operator. Your custom version can connect those reviews to staff identities.

What does Enterprise DNA charge? expand_more

One setup fee, then a retainer. The scope covers the agreed import, your fields and reports, and the ongoing operation you want us to handle. Bring your FMIS renewal and a sample register to the call so Sam can discuss your version.
