Defining Distribution Sets
Use this window to define default distribution sets. Then, when you add a new asset using the Detail Additions or Mass Additions process, you can choose a predefined distribution set from a poplist in the Assignments window to quickly assign the appropriate distributions to a new asset.
You can define a distribution set to allocate percentages of asset units to different depreciation expense accounts, locations, and employees. You can define one or more distributions in a set. You can also change the distribution information for a distribution set at any time.
Attention: If you change the distribution information for a distribution set, note that it does not affect assets already assigned to that distribution set.
To define a distribution set:
1. Navigate to the Distribution Sets window.
2. Enter a unique Name and a Description of the Distribution Set you want to define.
3. Enter the corporate Book for the distribution set.
Note: You cannot assign distribution sets to assets in tax or budget books.
4. Optionally enter the date placed in service range this distribution set is effective. You can leave the to date blank if you want the distribution set to be effective indefinitely.
5. For each distribution in the set, enter the Units Percent, Depreciation Expense Account, and Location. Optionally enter the Employee Name or Number.
Units Percent: Enter the percentage of the asset you want to assign to this distribution. You can enter 100% for one distribution, or break up the total percentage into several distributions. The total percentage for the set must equal 100%.
