Guidelines for Changing an Asset Book During Source Line Preparation

When preparing source lines, you can change the current asset book to another asset book associated with the same primary ledger when the primary ledger has multiple associated corporate books.

Use either the Assets page or the Prepare Source Lines page to change an incorrect asset book for Payables invoice lines transferred through the Create Mass Additions process.

When you change the asset book, the queue name of the asset addition line is automatically changed to Book Changed. To post the line, enter all of the required attributes, then change the queue name to Post using one of these methods:

  • Change the queue name to Post in the Edit Source Line page.
  • Click Prepare All on the Assets page and change the queue name to Post in the Create Asset Additions spreadsheet.

You can use the Change Book action for these types of transactions:

  • Invoices transferred from Payables.
  • Asset lines loaded using the Fixed Assets Mass Additions Import template.

You can't use the Change Book action for these types of transactions:

  • Asset lines transferred from Projects.
  • Asset lines added through the Add Asset page or Create Asset Additions spreadsheet.
  • Asset lines that are already split.
  • Merged child lines, but when you change the book for a merged parent line, it automatically changes the book for all of its child lines.
  • Asset lines added to an existing asset as a cost adjustment.
