Preparing Assets
When you prepare assets, ONESOURCE Trust Tax gathers the account and asset combinations for the asset type you select, and calculates totals for purchases and sales. Account and asset combinations are included only if transactions or open and close positions exist in your PAN for the tax year.
You can prepare assets as often as is necessary. ONESOURCE Trust Tax recommends you prepare assets after any bridge files (including short files) are loaded to your PAN.
To prepare assets for review:
- SelectWSC PLUSto display the WSC Plus page.
- Enter the end date of the accounting period you want to prepare assets for in theAs Of Datefield for the asset type. For example, if you want to prepare OID assets, enter the end date in theAs Of Datefield for the OID row.
- Select theSelectlink in thePrepare Assets for Reviewcolumn for the asset type you want to prepare.
- SelectYeswhen the message asking whether you want to submit the request displays.
- Select OK when the "Request has been submitted" message displays. TheSelectlinks in theReview AssetsandReview Open Tax Lotscolumns become unavailable for the asset type, and the status in theStatus Informationcolumn is updated to indicate that assets are being prepared.
- If you want to remain on the page as assets are prepared, you can press F5 to refresh the status. Otherwise, you can track the asset preparation process using the Request Status and History page.

If the error persists, contact the ONESOURCE Trust Tax Support team.
