SAGE ERP

What does DESSS deliver for Sage Fixed Assets?

DESSS delivers Sage Fixed Assets on Sage ERP through the sage fixed assets implementation: chart of accounts and ledger design; close calendar and process mapping; ledger, tax and banking configuration; opening balances and history; parallel close; go-live and first close support. Each step closes with named deliverables you sign off before the next begins.

THE WORKFLOW

6 steps, start to finish

Every engagement follows a documented sequence, so you always know which stage the work is in and what closes it.

Chart of accounts and ledger design — Structure first
Close calendar and process mapping — How the close runs
Ledger, tax and banking configuration — Build the core
Opening balances and history — Load the numbers
Parallel close — Prove it before you rely on it
Go-live and first close support — At a period boundary

WHAT YOU GET

Named deliverables, signed off

Each step closes with deliverables you review and approve before the next one begins — progress you can audit rather than a status colour on a slide.

HOW WE DELIVER

Sage Fixed Assets implementation

A ledger-first rollout sequenced around your close calendar, so the first period in Sage Fixed Assets closes on time.

Step 01

Weeks 1–3

Chart of accounts and ledger design

We design the account, cost centre, dimension and entity structure Sage Fixed Assets will use, testing it against the reports finance actually publishes. Getting this wrong is the single most expensive thing to unwind later, so it is agreed in writing before configuration starts.

Deliverables:

Chart of accounts design
Dimension model
Reporting map

Step 04

Weeks 7–10

Opening balances and history

Trial balance, open items, fixed asset registers and the agreed depth of comparative history are loaded and reconciled line by line to the legacy system, with your controller signing each reconciliation.

Deliverables:

Loaded balances
Reconciliation pack
Sign-off

Step 02

Weeks 2–4

Close calendar and process mapping

Every activity in your month-end is mapped with its owner, dependency and timing, from accruals and allocations to intercompany and consolidation, so Sage Fixed Assets is configured around the real close rather than an idealised one.

Deliverables:

Close calendar
Process maps
Control points

Step 05

Weeks 10–12

Parallel close

One full period is closed in both the legacy system and Sage Fixed Assets, and every variance is explained before go-live is approved. This is the step that turns finance from nervous to confident.

Deliverables:

Parallel close results
Variance log
Go-live decision

Step 03

Weeks 4–8

Ledger, tax and banking configuration

General ledger, sub-ledgers, tax codes, currencies, bank formats and approval workflows are configured in Sage ERP, with automated bank feeds and payment file formats tested against your banks.

Deliverables:

Configured ledgers
Tax matrix
Bank integration

Step 06

Weeks 12–14

Go-live and first close support

Cutover happens at a period boundary with a timed runbook, and our consultants sit with your team through the first close in Sage Fixed Assets, then hand over documented procedures and a tuning backlog.

Deliverables:

Cutover runbook
First close support
Procedure documentation

COMMON QUESTIONS

About Sage Fixed Assets

A typical DESSS Sage Fixed Assets delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around weeks 12–14. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.

Every step closes with named deliverables — Bank integration, Chart of accounts design, Close calendar, Configured ledgers, Control points, Cutover runbook, Dimension model, First close support — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.
