#### Notes

1. When entering the details of the asset, please follow the established patterns for your account and guidance provided by your implementation team.
2. If you are unsure of the correct values for any of the fields, please contact your implementation team or Molecule Support.

Once the asset is set up, you can add asset entries via API or Excel upload.

For Excel upload, see Importing Asset Valuation Data.
