AC160 - Asset Interface

Use AC160 (Asset Interface) to capitalize activities or account categories
and transfer them as assets to the Asset Management system. You can track
costs and asset information for an activity for capital projects and then use
AC160 to transfer the activity to the Asset Management system when it is
closed or depreciation can begin. You can capitalize an activity (posting
only), or an activity and account category. Before capitalization can occur,
you must have:
-- posted transactions to the activity,
-- set the account category capitalization flag to yes,
-- changed the activity status to capitalization yes,
-- established the asset creation or asset repair information, and
-- created an asset template in the Asset Management system.

AC160 (Asset Interface) creates the following journal entries in the General
Ledger when you create an asset:
-- a debit to the asset clearing account defined on AC10.3 (Asset), and
-- a credit to the WIP account defined on AC10.3.

If the WIP account is blank, the program creates credit entries using the
company, accounting unit, account, and subaccount that the original cost entry
was made to.

AC160 (Asset Interface) lets you determine if you want the credit entry (WIP
account) to post to the Activity Management system when you capitalize assets.
If you select Yes, AC160 not only creates journal entries (debit to clearing
account, credit to WIP account) that post to the general ledger, but it also
posts the credit entry to Activity Management. By posting the entry to
Activity Management, you keep both the general ledger and the Activity
Management system in balance for reconciliation.

If you select No, AC160 only creates journal entries that post to the general
ledger; no journal entries post to Activity Management. (However, there will
be activity and account category information on the credit journal entries
posted to general ledger.) This option allows the true cost of building the
asset in Activity Management to remain intact. The Asset Interface also lets
you define a Post to Acct Category, different from the account category on the
originating entry.
