Adding New Ledgers to Assets

Advanced Operations (G1231), Add New Ledger to Assets.

You can add new ledgers to the F1202 table. Run the Add New Ledgers to Assets program (R12823) to add an additional ledger or tax book to all fixed assets.

After you define the new ledger type and add it to Depreciation Default Coding, you must select the fiscal year to update with the new ledger. The system:

  • Creates beginning balance and period postings for asset cost accounts, based on the cost derivation ledger if the ledger is coded to duplicate cost.

  • Performs an edit to ensure that the new ledger is valid in the F12003 table.

    If it is not, the system does not add the ledger.

If the new ledger is coded not to duplicate cost, the ledger is added with a blank subledger and no balance amounts.

After you run the Add New Ledger to Assets program, you can use the Depreciation Information form to verify the results of the update. Locate an asset that uses one of the account numbers with the new ledger type. You should see the newly added ledger type for the year in which you added the ledger.

Important: Ensure that you make data selections to specify only the records that you want to update with the new ledger.
