Defining Application-Specific User Preferences

Supply a default date on which you want this transaction distributed to the general ledger. The accounting date is validated against the open periods that you establish for Asset Management in the FIN_OPEN_PERIOD table to determine to which period the system posts. The difference between the transaction date and the accounting date determines whether any prior period depreciation must be calculated. For example, suppose that a computer was acquired and placed in service on March 15, 2006 but was not entered in Asset Management until August 1, 2006. All general ledger periods prior to August are closed. In this case, Asset Management automatically calculates depreciation starting in March and posts it to the general ledger in August.

Supply a default date for asset transactions or leave this field blank to use the system date.
