Review Mass Additions

Review newly created mass addition lines before posting them to Oracle Assets. Enter additional mass addition source, descriptive, and depreciation information in the Mass Additions window. Assign the mass addition to one or more distributions, or change existing distributions, in the Assignments window. If the mass addition is not an asset, or if it was created in error, you can delete it.

Once you have verified that the mass addition is ready to become an asset, change the queue to POST. The next time you Post Mass Additions to Oracle Assets this mass addition becomes an asset. The Mass Additions post program defaults depreciation rules from the asset category, book, and date placed in service. You can override the depreciation rules in the Books window if necessary.

Add to Existing Asset

You can add a mass addition line to an existing asset as a cost adjustment. Choose whether to change the category and description of the existing asset to those of the mass addition. Oracle Assets reclassifies the destination asset to the category and updates its description to that of the mass addition when you Post Mass Additions to Oracle Assets. Also choose whether to amortize or expense the cost adjustment.

When you change the queue name to POST for a mass addition line you are adding to an existing asset, Oracle Assets automatically changes the queue name to COST ADJUSTMENT. This makes it easy to differentiate between adding a new asset or adjusting an existing asset.

Merge Mass Additions

You can merge separate mass addition lines into a single mass addition line with a single cost. The mass addition line becomes a single asset when you Post Mass Additions to Oracle Assets.

For example, merge tax lines into the main invoice line distribution to maintain proper asset descriptions; merge a discount line with its appropriate mass addition line; or combine individual mass additions from different invoices into a single line and amount.

You can only merge mass additions in the NEW, ON HOLD, or user-defined hold queues. Choose whether to sum the number of units.

As an audit trail after the merge, the original cost of the invoice line distribution remains on the line. When you post the merged line, the asset cost is the total merged cost.

If you undo a merge, the mass addition lines appear as they did before the merge.

Attention: You cannot merge split mass addition lines. For example, if you split a mass addition line with 5 units into five separate mass additions, you cannot merge two of the new lines together. You can, however, post one of the lines to create a new asset, and then add the second mass addition line to the existing asset as a cost adjustment.

Split Mass Additions

You can split a mass addition line with multiple units into several single unit lines. You can split a previously merged mass addition line.

If you split a mass addition, the original line is put in the SPLIT queue as an audit trail of the split. The resulting split mass additions appear with one unit each, and with the same existing information from the source system. Each split child is now in the ON HOLD queue. You can review each line to become a separate asset.

If you undo a split, Oracle Assets places the original multiple unit mass addition line in the ON HOLD queue and deletes the single unit lines.
