Fixed Assets

Form ID: (FA303000)

By using this form, you can create, view, edit, and delete fixed assets in the system. You can quickly convert purchased items to fixed assets and track assets by custodian, department, and location. You can also view depreciation and transaction history, calculate depreciation, dispose of assets, and assign bonuses and other allowed tax benefits to depreciate assets.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.


Command	Description
Calculate Depreciation	Calculates depreciation through the entire life of the asset. You can view the calculated amounts on the Depreciation tab in the Calculated column. Note: No transactions are generated with the Calculate Depreciation action. To depreciate an asset, use the Calculate Depreciation (FA502000) form, on which you can depreciate the asset or assets through the specified period. This action is not available if the fixed asset is under construction—that is, assigned to a fixed asset class for which the Under Construction check box is selected on the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form.
Dispose	Opens the Disposal Parameters dialog box, which you use to set up disposal parameters and dispose of the asset. The asset status is set to Disposed. This command is available only if the asset has the Active status.
Hold	Changes the asset's status to On Hold to indicate that the asset is not ready to be acquired yet, or to temporarily exclude the asset from depreciation. To change the status of the asset to Active, click Remove Hold on the form toolbar.
Remove Hold	Changes the asset's status from On Hold to Active. This button and command are available if the document has the On Hold status.
Reverse	Reverses asset disposal to the time when the asset was put into service. You can reverse the asset only if it has the Active status.
Reverse Disposal	Opens the Reverse Disposal Info dialog box, which you use to reverse the disposal of the asset. The status of the asset is changed from Disposed to Active. This action is available only if the asset has the Disposed status.
Split	Navigates to the Split Assets (FA506000) form, which you can use to split an asset into two or more separate assets. You can split the asset if it has the Active or Fully Depreciated status.
Suspend	Suspends depreciation of the asset. The asset status is set to Suspended. You can suspend the asset only if it has the Active status.
Unsuspend	Opens the Suspend Parameters dialog box, which you use to specify the financial period starting in which the depreciation for the asset will be resumed. The status of the asset is changed from Suspended to Active. This command appears on the menu only if the asset's status is Suspended.

The status can be one of the following options: Active: This status is assigned to newly created assets and will be changed if the asset is fully depreciated or disposed. Fully Depreciated: This status reflects the asset cost or the depreciable basis that was fully depreciated over its useful life. Disposed: This status indicates that the asset was disposed. Suspended: This status indicates that the depreciation is currently stopped for the asset. Reversed: This status indicates that the asset is annulled, which means that all released transactions associated with the asset are reversed in open periods in the general ledger, and the asset is displayed as Reversed on reports with a depreciated amount equal to zero.
Posting Book	A check box that indicates (if selected) that transactions associated with fixed asset documents will be posted to the general ledger.
Placed-in-Service Date	The date when an asset was first placed in use. This column is available only for a non-depreciable fixed asset (that is, one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).
Placed-in-Service Period	The period when an asset was first placed in use. This column is available only if the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab for the selected fixed asset.
Depr. from	The date starting from which the asset will be depreciated. This date must be specified for each book and can be different from the acquisition date; however, this date cannot be earlier than the acquisition date of the asset. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).

Last Depr. Period	The period when the asset was depreciated last, by its identification number. This value is system-generated for fully depreciated assets. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab). For partially depreciated assets created in initialization mode, this value and the Accum. Depr. setting are required. If the Accum. Depr. column is filled in and the current column is empty, the system will display an error message when you try to save the asset. For details, see Asset Migration: General Information.
Depr. to Period	The latest depreciation period—that is, the period until which the asset will be depreciated—by its identification number. This period is determined according to the first depreciation period, the book calendar, the averaging convention, and the useful life of the asset. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab). The system will display an error message and will not create a new asset if all of the following conditions are met for the asset: The asset has the Depreciable check box selected on the General tab of the current form The asset has a non-zero acquisition cost (the Orig. Acquisition Cost box is filled in on the General tab) The asset has zero accumulated depreciation (the Accum. Depr. column on the current tab is empty) The period specified in the current column is closed in the posting book This rule is also applied for fixed assets created in initialization mode, that is when the Update GL check box is cleared on the Fixed Assets Preferences (FA101000) form.
Orig. Acquisition Cost	The amount that was spent to acquire the asset. This amount depends on the way the asset was acquired. It can be the purchase price or the fair market value of the asset; it also can include closing costs and other expenses spent to acquire the asset.
Current Cost	A read-only box that shows the current cost of the asset in the appropriate book in the period when the asset is to be depreciated (the period following the one specified in the Last Depr. Period box).
Business Use, %	The use of the asset that is for business purposes, expressed as a percentage. If you use the asset for both personal and business purposes (as with a car), you may depreciate the cost of the business use only, but not the full cost. The system does not depreciate more than this percentage of the acquisition cost.
Basis	The depreciable basis, which is the amount that is allocated over the useful life of the asset. This is a system-generated value; the amount of the depreciable basis depends on the depreciation method applied to depreciate the asset. For some methods, the basis can be equal to the acquisition cost minus the salvage amount. Also, you can adjust the basis amount based on the percentage of business use, the bonus amount, and the Tax 179 amount.
Salvage Amount	The expected book value of the asset at the end of its useful life. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).
Accum. Depr.	The amount of the depreciation that has been accumulated. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab). For partially depreciated assets created in initialization mode, this value and the Last Depr. Period setting are required. If the current column is filled in and the Last Depr. Period column is empty, the system will display an error message when you try to save the asset. For details, see Asset Migration: General Information.
Net Value	The net book value of the asset.

This column is filled in by the system according to the setting of the fixed asset class; however, you can override the class setting. This column is unavailable for editing for the Australian Prime Cost, New Zealand Straight-Line, and New Zealand Straight-Line Evenly by Periods methods; for these methods, it shows the calculated value of `100 / Percent per Year.`
Recovery Periods	The number of depreciation periods. This value is generated by the system based on the Useful Life, Years setting on this tab.
ADS Life, Years	The Alternative Depreciation System (ADS) life, which is the period of time (in years) the asset is supposed to be used. The ADS life is used with some depreciation methods instead of the useful life.
Averaging Convention	The convention that determines how fixed assets will be depreciated for the period within which the asset was acquired or disposed. The list of available averaging conventions depends on the depreciation method you have specified. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab). For details, see Averaging Conventions.
Mid-Period Type	The column that displays the rule (set during the creation of the book) that defines the day in the period that will be considered by the system as the middle of the disposal and acquisition period. The following options are available: Fixed Day: Used to set a particular date (specified in the Mid-Period Day column) as the last day of the first half of the period. Number of Days: Used when you have specified (in the Mid-Period Day column) the number of days the system will add to the first date of the calendar month to calculate the last day of the first half of the period. Note: This box becomes available for editing if you select the Modified Half Period option or the Modified Half Period 2 option in the Averaging Convention column. For details, see Averaging Conventions.
Mid-Period Day	A column that displays the day of the month (specified during book creation) that is considered by the system as the middle of the financial period. Depending on the option selected in the Mid-Period Type column during the creation of the book, this column can contain the following value: If the Fixed Day option is selected in the Mid-Period Type column: The particular date of a period is specified as the last day of the first half of the period in Mid-Period Day. For example, if you specify 10 in Mid-Period Day, the 10th day of the period will be the last one in the first half of the period. If the Number of Days option is selected in the Mid-Period Type column: Mid-Period Day contains the number of days the system will add to the first date of the calendar month to calculate the last day of the first half of the period. For example, if you specify 10 in the Mid-Period Day column and the financial period starts on the 2nd day of a calendar month, the 12th day of the month will be the last one in the first half of the period. Note: This box becomes available for editing if you select the Modified Half Period option or the Modified Half Period 2 option in the Averaging Convention column. For details, see Averaging Conventions.
Tax 179 Amount	The asset cost that you treat as an expense and deduct in the first year the asset was put into use, instead of depreciating the full cost of the asset over its useful life. This amount is based on Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, which has some limitations and can vary from year to year. This column is available if you have selected the Sect. 179 check box on the Depreciation tab of the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form for the class and book associated with the asset. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).

This column is available if you have selected the Bonus check box on the Depreciation tab of the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form for the class and book associated with the asset. You can set up bonuses by using the Bonuses (FA208000) form. This type of bonus is specific to the United States tax system. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab for the selected fixed asset).
Bonus Rate	The bonus rate (as a percentage) that is defined for this bonus on the Bonuses (FA208000) form. The system calculates the bonus if the start depreciation date (specified in the Depr. from column) is within the date range specified for the bonus. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).
Bonus Amount	The bonus amount, which is the acquisition cost multiplied by the bonus rate. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).
Bonus Recapture	The amount that must be recaptured if the asset is disposed of during the first two years of its useful life. This column is not available for a non-depreciable fixed asset (one for which the Depreciate box is cleared on the General tab).
Percent per Year	The depreciation rate of the asset. This column is available if Australian Prime Cost, Australian Diminishing Value, or any of the New Zealand depreciation methods is selected in the Depreciation Method column for the book in this row. The default value in this column is copied from the Percent per Year box on the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form for the fixed asset class assigned to this fixed asset (on the General tab of the current form). If the depreciation method for a book is changed to Australian Prime Cost or Australian Diminishing Value, the default value is selected as follows: If the corresponding book in the selected fixed asset class has a nonzero Percent per Year specified on the Depreciation tab of the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form, the system copies this value as the default. If the corresponding book in the selected fixed asset class has a zero Percent per Year, the system copies the default value from the Depreciation Methods (FA202500) form. If the depreciation method for a book is changed to one of the Australian or New Zealand methods, the default value is selected as follows: If the corresponding book of the fixed asset class has a Percent per Year value specified, the system copies the default value from the Percent per Year column on the Depreciation tab of the Fixed Asset Classes (FA201000) form. In other cases, the system copies the default value from the Depreciation Methods (FA202500) form.
