Define cash generating units to assign to individual assets. |
A cash generating unit (CGU) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use and are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. A CGU is used to assist in determining the recoverable amount of an individual asset when performing impairment assessment and processing.
After you determine how many cash generating units you require, you must define them for PeopleSoft Asset Management. You define them per business unit. Each business unit definition must already be established to associate the CGU to it.
Before you can create a cash generating unit (CGU), you must select the impairment processing option when selecting installation options. This enables the Impairment Processing check boxes on the business unit pages.
Use the Cash Generating Unit Definition page (AM_CGU_DEFN) to define cash generating units to assign to individual assets.
