BDR For Fixed Assets Object Information
The activities in BDR (basic data requirements) For Fixed Assets Object Information are
used to enter information for the fixed assets. The activities in BDR For Fixed
Assets Accounting must have been performed before the information for the fixed assets can
be entered.
The following procedure can be used to enter a fixed asset object in IFS
Applications.
- Open Object and use the New function. Default values are
displayed in the Object Type, Valid From, and Valid Until fields in the General tab. Enter
Object and Description at the top of the window.
- In the
General tab, enter Object Group by using the List of
Values. Several basic data is given as default for the object, for example an account in
the Acquisition Account field. Enter Object Location, Object Owner, Supplier, and External
ID, if appropriate. Save the information. The object status becomes Registered.
- In the
Main Object tab, the object's identity is displayed
in the Main Object field. If the object belongs to a previously-entered object, you can
specify the main object's identity by using the List of Values.
- In the User-Defined Base Values
tab, the user-defined base values linked to the object group are shown.
If the
Initiated by Acquisition Value
check box is
selected in the User-Defined Base Value Types window, the user
defined base value lines will be created in the Object/User-Defined Base Values tab window only when an object is activated or when the
post imported transactions are performed for a newly created object. If the
Initiated by Acquisition Value check box is cleared, the user defined
base value lines will be automatically created in the object window prior to
the active state.
- In the Books tab, the depreciation method and
plan linked to the object group are shown. Enter a date in the Depreciation Start Date
field, if appropriate. Add a depreciation method belonging to another method group, if
appropriate.

General tab are shown. Add any other posting information for the object.
The information in this tab is connected to the posting control in IFS/Accounting Rules.

planned acquisition value and the planned acquisition date of the object.
This tab is enabled only for objects with the status Planned and
