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).

    • 1. Process Mode

      Specify the mode in which you want to run this program. Values are:

      Blank: Run the program in preliminary mode

      You should run the program in preliminary mode before running it in final mode. The program will produce a report, which will help you ensure that the transfer journal entries created for a preliminary asset account transfer and asset information changes are correct. Running the program in preliminary mode does not update accounts.

      1: Run the program in final mode

      When you transfer an asset in final mode, this program automatically updates the records in the Asset Account Balances table (F1202). The program also updates the Account Balances table (F0902) if you set the corresponding processing option. Alternatively, you can post the transfer journal entries manually to the general ledger.

      If the transfer journal entries are incorrect, you must correct the errors through the general ledger.
