FA Range

The system uses the FA range in the AAIs to identify which asset cost accounts enable the system to create necessary equipment masters when you run a post to equipment. If you post a transaction with a cost account in the FA range for a piece of equipment that does not have an equipment master existing in the system, the program that you run to post costs to equipment creates the equipment master automatically.

When you set up the FA range, you must apply these rules:

• Define up to 49 FA ranges.

• Define only asset cost accounts for this AAI range.

• Set up item setup default coding for the asset cost account.

  The system uses the default values on the Item Setup Default Coding form to create equipment masters.

• FA ranges can be company specific, or you can use the default company 00000 to set up the FA range for all the companies at once.

  If you set up a company-specific FA range for one company, you must set up the FA ranges for all companies.
