Managing Fixed Asset Journal Entries

This chapter provides an overview of fixed asset journal entries and discusses how to:

• Split fixed assets

• Transfer fixed assets

• Dispose of single assets.

• Perform mass disposals.

Understanding Fixed Asset Journal Entries

You can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Assets system to record asset splits, transfers, and disposals in the accounting ledgers. When you indicate which assets you want to be affected by a split or transfer, the system automatically creates the necessary journal entries.

When you run the Compute Depreciation and the Asset Transfer programs in final mode, the system automatically posts transactions to the table F1202. You can review and, if necessary, make changes to the journal entries and then post them to the table F0902. When you run the Disposal program, the system creates transactions that you must approve before posting to table F0902 and then to table F1202. When you run the asset split program, the system automatically posts transactions to table F0902; then you must post to table F1202.

Splitting Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of asset splits and discusses how to:

• Enter asset split information.

• Post journal entries for asset splits.

Understanding Asset Splits

You can split an existing asset into one or more new assets. You can split assets by units, monetary value, or percentage. Percentages calculated for the asset split are based on the cost account as of the date of the split.

Use the Asset Split program to perform these tasks:

• Split an asset entered as a bulk quantity into smaller lots or units.

  You do not have to have an asset quantity greater than one to split the asset.

• Remove a portion of an asset to create two independent assets.

• Split a component (part) of an asset to dispose of it.

• Split a component (part) of an asset to transfer it.

• Correct an asset that was entered as one item but should have been entered as multiple assets.

• Split an asset retroactively, which occurs as of a specified date.

• Split a secondary accumulated depreciation account.

When you complete the asset split process, the system automatically:

1. Creates asset master records for the new assets that were generated during the split, based on the original asset master record.

2. Updates the Current Item Quantity field on the original asset master record.

3. Creates location tracking records for the new assets, based on the original asset master record.

4. Updates the Quantity field on the original asset's location tracking record.

5. Creates F1202 records for the depreciation methods and ledger types for the new assets, based on the original asset record.

6. Creates journal entries for both the original asset and the new assets, based on the original asset's costs and accumulated depreciation account numbers.

7. Creates a subledger account for the new assets, based on the subledger for the original asset.

8. Submits the journal entries for posting to table F0902 for document type Asset Split (AS).

This graphic illustrates how the Asset Split program works:

Asset Split program flow

Entering Asset Split Information

You must enter asset split information to indicate which assets you want to divide. You do not have to have an asset quantity greater than one to split the asset. When you split an asset, the journal entries for the split post to the same cost and accumulated depreciation account as the original asset. After you accept an asset split transaction, you cannot delete the split.

You can perform an asset split only if the asset has a single current location.

The system uses a percentage to calculate cost and accumulated depreciation for the split information that you enter on Asset Split. The system calculates this percentage, regardless of the method of split that you specify. When you exit the program, the system updates asset records, based on the percentage. If you review the asset split journal entries that the system creates, you might notice a rounding difference between the amounts that you entered and the amounts that post to cost and accumulated depreciation.

To maintain the integrity of the fixed asset records, the system prevents asset splits after the date that you dispose of the asset. You can split an asset only before its disposal date.

For retroactive splits, the amount that is defined as available for the split will equal the amount as of the specified GL date.

Forms Used to Split Fixed Assets

Entering Asset Split Information

Access the Work With Assets form.

After you select an asset on the Work With Assets form, you will split assets using the Asset Split form.

To enter asset split information:

1. Click Find on the Work With Assets form to view all assets.

   To limit your search, click the tabs in the header area of the Work With Assets form and complete the appropriate information.

   When you are searching for an asset on the Work With Assets form, the Skip To Description and Skip To Asset fields in the header area and the query-by-example fields in the detail area do not display data if asset descriptions have been translated or if the language preference is activated. However, the Description - Compressed field shows data if the descriptions have been translated; you can conduct your search through this field.

2. Select the asset that you want to split.

3. Select Asset Split from the Row menu.

4. Complete these fields on the Asset Split form, and click OK to create a batch for the split journal entries:

   Explanation	Enter a description, remark, explanation, name, or address.
   G/L Date	Specify the date that identifies the financial period to which the transaction will be posted. You define financial periods for a date pattern code that you assign to the company record. The system compares the date that you enter on the transaction to the fiscal date pattern assigned to the company to retrieve the appropriate fiscal period number, as well as to perform date validations.
   Method (A / U / %)	Enter the code that specifies which method the system uses when it allocates costs and units during an asset split. Values are: A: Assigns the currency amount that you enter for the new assets. The system creates a ratio based on the amount that you enter for the new assets and the amount that remains for the original asset. The ratio determines the number of units that will be distributed to the new and original assets. U: Assigns the unit amount that you enter for the new assets. The system creates a ratio based on the units that you enter for the new assets and the units that remain for the original asset. This ratio determines the currency amount distributed to the new and original assets. %: Distributes the cost and units based on the percentage amount you enter. Blank: Distributes the cost and units based on the cost and unit amounts you enter. The system does not perform any ratios.

   The system assigns a batch number that remains the same until you leave the Asset Split program. You can include journal entries that are related to multiple asset splits in a single batch.

   The current information for the asset appears.

5. Complete one of these fields, based on the method that you entered, to establish information for the new asset:

   • If the method is either A or blank, complete the Asset Cost field.

     The asset cost is the original acquisition cost of an asset.

   • If the method is U, complete the Asset Quantity field.

   • If the method is %, complete the Percent field.

     The percentage relationship of the cost of an asset to the total cost of the asset from which it is being split. Use the percentage method to fully deplete an original asset cost and split it into one or more new assets. When you deplete the original asset 100 percent, you prevent it from having any remaining balance amounts due to rounding.

6. Complete the New Asset Description field.

7. (Optional) Complete these fields:

   • Asset Number

   • Unit Number

   • Serial Number

   To maintain the integrity of the fixed asset records, the system prevents an asset from being split into an existing asset number. When you split an asset, the system assigns the new asset a number from Next Numbers, or you can assign an asset number to the new asset.

8. Click OK.

   The system updates the Remaining Cost and Quantity fields, based on the asset cost and quantity amounts that you enter. A verification message appears on Asset Split.

9. Click Yes to accept the transaction.

   After you accept an asset split transaction, you cannot delete the split.

   The program edits the information and clears the form. The system creates posted journal entries for the split to the Account Balances table (F0902). When you click Cancel, the system submits the batch for posting to fixed assets with the document type AS (Asset Split).

10. Select Split Inquiry from the Form menu on the Asset Split from to view the transactions.

11. Review the transactions on the Work With Journal Entries from.

12. Click Close to return to the Work With Assets form.

13. Click Cancel on the Asset Split form.

Posting Journal Entries for Asset Splits

When you accept the asset split transaction, the system creates posted asset split journal entries to the table F0902.

When you click Cancel, the system submits the batch for posting to the table F1202. When you split an asset, the journal entries for the split post to the same cost and accumulated depreciation accounts as the original asset. The system calls a separate version of the Post program that posts journal entries with the document type AS (Asset Split).

When you split an asset that existed in a prior year, the system creates journal entries on the last day of the prior year with a document type AS. For example, suppose the company's calendar fiscal date pattern runs from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. When you split an asset in fiscal year 2011 that existed in the prior year, the journal entries created use December 31, 2010 as the GL date, regardless of the period in the fiscal year 2001 when the asset was split. The journal entries are marked as posted in the table F0911 since they are from the same account, and do not affect the balance of that account. Therefore, journal entries created from an asset split do not affect balance sheets or income statements that might have already been issued for the prior year.

The system uses the prior year GL date of December 31, 2000 so that beginning balances are updated correctly. Beginning balances are used by the Compute Depreciation program (R12855) to accurately calculate depreciation for the asset split as well as the original asset. The Work with Asset Ledger Inquiry (W12211A) form also uses the beginning balance fields to accurately reflect the Inception-to-Date and Year-To-Date balances.

For assets that are added and then split in the current year, the GL date for period that the split takes place is used.

Posting Journal Entries

Transferring Fixed Assets

This section provides an overview of asset transfers and discusses how to:

• Transfer fixed assets.

• Set processing options for Asset Transfer (R12108).

Understanding Asset Transfers

When you complete the asset transfer process, the program automatically creates the appropriate journal entries with a document type of Asset Transfer (AT). The Asset Transfer program posts the journal entries for asset transfers to the Asset Account Balances File table (F1202) and, if a processing option is set, to the Account Balances table (F0902).

Note. When transferring fixed assets, do not use a posting edit code of S on accounts that will be posted to Fixed Assets. If you use a posting edit code of S, you will not be able to post detail information to tables F0902 and F1202 in a summarized format. When you run a fixed asset transfer, the resulting journal entries are prohibited from posting to table F0902 because the detail is missing subledgers. If you use a posting edit code S, you must include subledger information in table F0902.

When a transfer occurs in the same month in which a depreciation expense balance exists, the depreciation expense is apportioned to the new account, based on the transfer date.

This graphic illustrates asset transfer and depreciation balance:

Asset transfer and depreciation balance

You can use the transfer program to change depreciation expense and revenue information in the asset master. The program can update this information, but it does not move the balances or create journal entries unless you transfer during the middle of the month. To transfer depreciation expense and revenue amounts at the end of the period, you must use journal entries.

You can use the transfer program to transfer secondary and tertiary accumulated depreciation accounts.

You can transfer assets individually or in mass quantities. The transfer program is the same for both single and mass transfers. You use data selection to indicate which asset or assets you are transferring.

Note. To maintain the integrity of the fixed asset records, the system prevents asset transfers after the date that you dispose of the asset. You can transfer an asset only before its disposal date.

Do not use the Mass Transfer or Single Asset Transfer programs to enter asset location information for billing purposes. Use only the Location Transfer program to transfer assets with associated billing information.

Transferring Fixed Assets

Transfers, Splits and Disposals (G1222), Single Asset Transfer.

Alternatively, Transfers, Splits and Disposals (G1222), Mass Transfer.

Use the transfer procedure to record assets that are transferred from one business unit or account to another. You can transfer assets based on the entire account structure (business unit, object, and subsidiary) or a portion of the account structure. For example, if you move a computer from one department to another department in the company, you use the transfer program to create the journal entries that reflect the move.

When information for a large block of assets changes, you can also use the transfer program to make global changes to the information with or without transferring the assets. When you make global changes to asset information using the Asset Transfer program, you enter new values only in the fields for the values that you want to change. Any fields that you leave blank are not affected by a change. If you want to change the value for a subsidiary or subledger to blank, you must enter *blank in the field. For example, you can change the responsible business unit for a fleet of trucks without actually moving them. You can use the transfer program to globally change this asset information:

• Responsible business unit.

• Work center.

• Property tax entity.

• Property tax state.

• Location (if the asset has only one current location).

• Category codes.

You can change a specific category code value for all of the assets within a company or asset class without having to change each master record individually Transfer program.

If you set up an alternative date pattern, the transfer program uses the date pattern that you specify.

Setting Processing Options for Asset Transfer (R12108)

Set these processing options to specify how the system runs the program and transfers the asset.

Process

These processing options enable you to:

• Specify the date when you want to transfer the asset.

• Specify the accounts to which you are transferring the asset.

• Change asset master information and asset master category code information.

• Indicate whether you want to use flex accounting.

These processing options also enable you to specify whether you want to run this program in preliminary or final mode.

A preliminary asset account transfer:

• Edits the transfer to information that you enter in the appropriate processing options.

• Prints a report that shows the journal entries that the system creates when you run the final transfer.

A preliminary asset information change:

• Edits the new item master information that you enter in the processing options.

• Prints a report that shows the original item master information and the new information that the system creates when you run the final transfer.

A final asset account transfer:

• Edits the transfer to information that you enter in the appropriate processing options.

• Creates journal entries for the asset accounts that are affected by the asset transfer.

• Prints a report showing the journal entries.

• Updates the item master information in the Asset Master File table (F1201).

• Posts the journal entries to the Asset Account Balances File table (F1202), depending on the type of transfer.

A final asset information change:

• Edits the new asset information that you enter in the appropriate processing options.

• Prints a report that shows the original asset master information and the new asset information that the system creates.

• Updates the asset master information records in the Asset Master File table (F1201).

These processing options determine how the asset number appears on reports and where page breaks occur.

Disposing of Single Assets

This section provides an overview of asset disposal, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

• Enter disposal information.

• Review and revise disposal entries.

• Post disposal entries.

Understanding Asset Disposal

You can use the Single Asset Disposal (P12105) and Mass Asset Disposal (R12104) programs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Assets system to record asset disposals. You can also record new asset costs in the event of a trade-in using the Single Asset Disposal program.

When you dispose of an asset, you can indicate a specific method of disposal, such as scrapped, theft, or charity. The system updates the asset master record with the disposal date (unless you enter a date in the asset master record) and indicates the method of disposal in the Equipment Status field. The system also creates the journal entries for the disposal.

The system creates disposal journal entries only for the Actual Amounts (AA) ledger unless you specify additional ledgers in the processing options. You must post the disposal journal entries to the general ledger and fixed assets.

When you dispose of an asset, the system must access these accounts to create the appropriate journal entries:

• Accumulated Depreciation and Cost.

  You set up these accounts when you create the asset master record.

• Net Book Value, Cash Clearing, Cash Proceeds.

  You set up these accounts when you set up the Disposal Account Rule Table.

If you define a secondary accumulated depreciation account (from the SDA AAI) for an asset, the disposal program handles the balance for that account.

If you set up an alternative date pattern, the disposal program uses the date pattern that you specify.

Fixed Asset Disposals

If you must dispose of more than one ledger (a second currency ledger, for example), you can specify which ledgers to include in the processing options of the Mass Asset Disposal program. In addition, different account information can be specified to preserve the cost and accumulated depreciation accounts, and to use a reserve account in their place. Different account information can also be used to comply with charitable deduction reporting requirements in some countries. If necessary, you can dispose of a single subledger for one or more assets.

Tax ledgers are not disposed but are carried to the end of the current year. When you do a final close, tax ledgers do not create balance forward records for the following year.

You do not have to remove the disposal date from the asset master record before you run the disposal. You can leave the disposal date blank for the disposal program, and the system uses the date from the asset master. If both the asset master record and the disposal program have blank dates, the system uses the GL date. If you do use the disposal date in the disposal program and a date exists in the asset master record, you get a message that the date exists in the asset master. The date in the asset master record is not overwritten. The disposal date and equipment status is updated only if you are disposing of records in the AA ledger.

You can void disposal entries. Use the Single Asset Disposal program to void disposal journal entries that the system creates in the Mass Disposals program. When you void disposal journal entries, the system automatically updates the Date Disposed and Equipment Status in the Asset Master File table (F1201).

Simple Disposal

Item number 27830 has this current account information:

• Asset cost: 60,000.

• Accumulated depreciation: -45, 000.

• Net book value: 15,000.

Disposal entries are created as follows:

Disposal with Cash Proceeds

Item number 27828 has this current account information:

• Asset cost: 50,000.

• Accumulated depreciation: -25, 000.

• Net book value: 25,000.

This asset is being sold for 10,000.

Record and post the cash to GL and Fixed Assets (Cash Receipt Journal Entry).

Create disposal entries as follows:

An entry to the Gain/Loss account 9110 is not made. However, when you run financial transactions, the balances on accounts 9112, 9111, and 9113 are rolled into account 9110 per the level of detail roll-up.

For example, this table illustrates the results of using the Accounts by Business Units program to inquire on the YARD business unit:

In this example, these values exist (<10,000> original entry + 10,000 entry made during disposal):

There is a 15,000 loss.

Disposal with Trade-In

Item number 27830 has this current account information:

• Asset cost: 60,000.

• Accumulated depreciation: -45, 000.

• Net book value: 15,000.

A new Asset Master Record, number 27836, needs to be created.

Disposal entries are created as follows:

Note. The debit amount to the Cost Account of the new asset is the NBV (Net Book Value) of the Original Asset.

Disposal with Trade-In and Cash Proceeds

Item number 27828 has this current account information:

• Asset cost: 50,000.

• Accumulated depreciation: -25, 000.

• Net book value: 25,000.

This asset is being sold for 10,000.

These tasks need to be completed:

1. Record and post the cash to GL and Fixed Assets (Cash Receipt Journal Entry):

   Account Number	Account Description	Debit	Credit
   50.1110.BEAR	Cash	10,000
   YARD.9113	Cash/Clearing account		10,000 (Item number 27828)

2. Create a new Asset Master Record, Item number 27836.

3. Create disposal entries follows:

   Account number	Account Description	Debit	Credit
   50.2030	Cost		50,000 (Item number 27828)
   50.2130	Accumulated Depreciation	25,000 (Item number 27828)
   50.2030	Net Book Value	25,000 (Item number 27836)
   YARD.9111	Proceeds from sale of assets		10,000 (Item number 27828)
   YARD.9113	Cash/Clearing Account	10,000 (Item number 27828)

Singe Asset Disposals

You can use the Single Asset Disposal form to dispose of assets individually. Dispose of assets individually to record the gains and losses that result from a disposal, and to record the new asset cost if a trade-in occurs. You can also use Single Asset Disposal to void or delete a disposal entry for a particular asset whether it was disposed of by the Mass Disposals or Single Asset Disposal procedures.

The system creates disposal journal entries, based on the disposal type that you specify when you enter disposal information. You can use the Single Asset Disposal form to perform four types of disposals:

Setting Up Date Pattern Overrides

Prerequisites

Before disposing of fixed assets, you must:

• Set up disposal account rules.

• Record depreciation through the disposal date of the asset.

• Post cash receipts from disposal proceeds to fixed assets.

• Post accounts payable vouchers for trade-ins to fixed assets.

    Effective Date

    Specify the date on which an address, item, transaction, or table record becomes active. The meaning of this field differs, depending on the program.

11. Click OK to save the entries.

Posting Disposal Entries

You must manually post single disposal journal entries to the general ledger and fixed assets. To perform this task, run these posts:

• Disposal Post to G/L.

• Post G/L Entries to Assets.

  Note. The default version of the Post G/L Entries to Assets program posts all unposted fixed asset entries. To post only disposal entries, you must create your own version of the post program and attach it to the menu option.

Performing Mass Asset Disposals

This section provides an overview of mass asset disposals and discusses how to:

• Enter mass disposal information.

• Set processing options for Mass Asset Disposals (R12104).

• Post journal entries for mass disposals.

Understanding Mass Asset Disposals

Use Mass Asset Disposals to:

• Dispose of multiple assets instead of a single asset.

• Use data selections to indicate the assets that you want to dispose of.

• Post the disposal entries to the general ledger automatically.

  The Mass Asset Disposals program performs this post automatically unless you specify Batch Approval in the system setup.

The system creates disposal journal entries that are based on the disposal type that you specify when you enter disposal information. Set the processing options to specify which of these types of disposals you want the Mass Asset Disposals to perform:

You can use processing options to run a preliminary or final mass disposal. The preliminary disposal does not create disposal journal entries. Run a preliminary disposal for proofing purposes before you run the final disposal.

The preliminary disposal performs these tasks:

• Edits the disposal information that you selected.

• Prints a report that shows the journal entries which the system creates when you run a final disposal.

The final disposal performs these tasks:

• Edits the disposal information that you selected.

• Creates journal entries for the accounts that are affected by the disposals.

• Prints a report that shows the journal entries.

• Updates the Date Disposed and Equipment Status fields in asset master records for the disposed assets if you are disposing of records in the AA ledger.

• Shows a zero cost basis for the disposed assets.

• Submits the journal entries for posting to the general ledger if a processing option is set and batch approval is not required.

  Note. If the system finds any errors during the final disposal process, it does not create journal entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911). Instead, the system prints an error message on the final report. Correct these errors and rerun the final disposal.

Entering Mass Disposal Information

Transfers, Splits, & Disposals (G1222), Mass Asset Disposal.

Use Data Selection to indicate the assets that you want to affect by the disposal. Company and item number are required data sequence items for the mass disposal procedure.

Setting Processing Options for Mass Asset Disposals (R12104)

Set these processing options to specify how to run the program, how to identify the asset on the report, and the version to run.

Process

Use these processing options to specify how the system runs the program and the information it uses.

Print

Use this processing option to specify how to identify the asset on the report.

Versions

Use this processing option to specify the version of the General Ledger Post Report program to run.

Posting Journal Entries for Mass Disposals

Transfers, Splits, & Disposals (G1222), Post G/L Entries to Fixed Asset.

If the system requires batch approval, you must post the disposal journal entries manually to the general ledger before you run Post G/L Entries to Assets.

If the system does not require batch approval and you specify a version in the processing options, it automatically performs the post to the general ledger. You must run only the Post G/L Entries to Assets to post journal entries for mass disposals to fixed assets.
