Split FA Object

Explanation

This activity is used to split a fixed asset.

Prerequisites

Before you split an object, the following must have been completed.

• A fixed assets object of which the object status is Investment or Active must exist in the system.
• If the status of the object to be split is Investment, accounting information must have been entered for the object.
• If the status of the object to be split is Active, the object must have been depreciated up to and including the split date. (Note: This is not required when the object type of the object to be split is Not Depreciable.)

System Effects

As a result of this activity;

• A new object will be created in the system and the acquisition value of the new object will be deducted from the acquisition value of the object that was split,
• The newly created object will have the same calculation index as the object that was split. The calculation index of the new object can be modified or removed altogether.
• Acquisition value adjustments per book will be transferred from the original to the new object if a value has been entered.
• The accumulated depreciation of the new object will be deducted from the accumulated depreciation of the object that was split.
• a voucher is created and transferred to the hold table in IFS/Accounting Rules.
• Vouchers are created and transferred to the hold table(s) of the internal ledger(s) if the voucher types for the internal ledger(s) are connected to FA books and, adjustments/depreciations for such books are split.
