Understanding Asset Functionality Information

You must associate a description of the functionality of an asset to the assets that you report in the 0305 register of block 0. The system prints the description of the asset functionality in the XML output file for block 0.

Before you can associate a description of the asset functionality, you must set up a supplemental database type for reportable assets. You use the Supplemental Data program (P00092) to add the data type $A to the Asset Management (AM) supplemental database code. You must use the value $A for the supplemental database type because the SPED Fiscal - Block 0 - Items & Assets program uses this value when processing the output for block 0. The supplemental database code of AM exists in your system if you have the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fixed Asset software installed. You set up the $A code once only.

After you set up the database type $A, you associate asset functionality descriptions with the assets that you report in block 0. The system writes the description that you enter to field 3 (Functionality) of register 0305. The output file does not limit the length of the text that you enter for the description. You must associate an asset functionality description to each reportable asset.
