Procedure

1. In the FA Objects tab, right-click and click Create FA Object to open the Create FA Object dialog box.
2. Enter an ID for the new object in the Object field. (Note: The object ID will be automatically generated if an object series ID is connected to the object group. An automatically generated object ID can be modified if required.)
3. Enter an object description. The default value can be edited. (A value in the Object Description field is required.)
4. In the Object Group field, enter an object group or use the List of Values to select an object group. This is a required field. (Note: It is required that the object group selected for this field to have an acquisition reason entered in the Object Group window. If you select an object group for which the Object Class Mandatory check box is selected in the Object Group window, it will be possible to proceed with the activity only if an object class has been specified in the same window).
5. If the new FA object should have an Import Allowed status, select the Import check box. By default, the Import check box is not selected and an FA object with an Investment status will be created.
6. Select the Pre Posting tab. Default values are displayed for the account and the code part that is used for the fixed asset object. If appropriate, enter information for other code parts.
7. Click OK to close the dialog box.
