Material-independent assets are acquired using the Asset Purchase Invoices. The asset purchase invoice is accessed through the Purchase Management/Transactions/Asset Purchase Invoice menu. The asset to be purchased is transferred to the slip line by selecting the category and code.
When the Asset Purchase Invoice is recorded, an invoice record is generated in draft status. G/L records related to the invoice can be accessed from the Attached Records menu.
For an asset to become an asset, it must be commissioned. You commission the assets that are purchased with Asset Purchase Invoices in two ways:
1- Commissioning Slip must be generated from Asset Management > Transactions > Asset Transactions. Organizational Unit is selected in Commissioning Slip window. Then, "Transfer Input Transaction" option in Operations menu is selected.
Asset Purchase Invoice which is issued from Purchase Management module is selected via the Wizard.
The relevant input transaction is transferred to the commissioning slip line with the help of Wizard. The location - where the asset should be - is specified with Target Allocation Point Type Info option.
When Input Transaction is transferred, the relevant slip type and its number are shown at the end of the relevant line in Related Slip field. Operation is completed by clicking Save button.
As the result of generating Commissioning Slip, the fixed asset cost information of the relevant asset is updated automatically.
2- Assets are commissioned by using Purchase Invoices browser > Asset Purchase Invoices F9 menu > Commissioning option. Commissioning Slip which is generated with this option is shown in Asset Management > Transactions > Asset Transactions and it can be changed. If you open the relevant slip with Asset Purchase Invoice > Attached Records > Commissioning Slip option, you can only view it. It cannot be changed.
