Move FA Object
Explanation
This activity is used to move a fixed asset. For example, enter information in
the system where an object (balance code string) is moved from one cost center to another cost center
or, where an object's acquisition account can be moved from construction in
progress to an account for completed assets. A move can also be necessary after
an object has been replaced by another object with another acquisition account.
Moving fixed assets is normally done in the
Object
window, but if you want to move a fixed asset when carrying out the
fixed assets physical counting process, it is also possible to do it in the
Register Object Physical Count Result window.
Prerequisites
Before you move a fixed asset, the following must have been completed:
- The object must have Active status.
- If you want to use the Register Object Physical
Count Result window to perform this activity, the count status of the
object to be moved must be Located.
- No transaction with an event
date later than the move date must exist.
- Not handled depreciation
proposals must be posted or cancelled.
- If you want to move
depreciations, the depreciations for the object and book must be performed
up to the move date.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, a new code string and/or a transaction reason is entered for the
object for acquisition value,
the acquisition value adjustments per book or for depreciation charged.

Procedure
Use the following procedure to move a fixed asset:
- Open Object or
Objects window
and query for the object that you want to move.
- Right-click and click Move Object
to open the Move Object window. (Note: In the
Objects window, you are required to select the object in
order to right-click and click Move Object.)
- Open the
General tab
window.
- Select the Acquisition option
if you want a new code string to be created based on the
general acquisition value
valid for all books. If you want to
create a new code string for acquisition value adjustments per book, select
the Acquisition Value Adjustment option. Otherwise, select the Depreciation option to create a new code string
based on the accumulated depreciation amount.
- If you selected the
Acquisition Value Adjustment
or the Depreciation
option,
you need to specify the relevant
book in the Book ID field.
- Modify the posting information
entered by default in the Posting Information group box if necessary.
- Open the
Accounting tab
window.
- Specify the new values you want for
the code string and the new transaction reasons in the New Values table. If you have selected,
the Allow Multiple Acquisition
Code Strings check box in Company/Fixed Assets
tab window or if you have selected
the Acquisition Value Adjustment or the
Depreciation option in the
General tab, you can enter more
than one code string combination in the New Values table. On the
other hand, if you have selected the Acquisition option in the
General tab, you can enter only one acquisition account in the New Values
table. You can split the amount
and amount in parallel currency entered for a code string(s) based on
the transaction reason. (Note: The
Amount in @EU field is editable only if the
company uses Parallel Currency functionality.)
- Open the Preposting tab
window and modify the preposting entered for the object if necessary.
- Save the information.
