Initiate Additional Investment Transaction

Explanation

This activity is used to initiate capitalizing subsequent costs incurred through manual supplier invoices related to fixed assets. In this instance, the additional investment transaction is started from the manual supplier invoice. The supplier invoice with the additional investment information should be finally posted and update the resultant vouchers (Function group I or J)  to the general ledger in order to generate additional investment object transactions in fixed assets accounting.

Prerequisites

• The postings must be saved with a fixed asset object ID and a appropriate fixed asset acquisition account in the Manual Supplier Invoice window.
• The object status must be Active for the specified fixed asset object (The status of the fixed asset object differentiates between the initial acquisition and the additional investment performed through Manual Supplier Invoice).

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The voucher will have the required information to perform an additional investment in fixed assets (Function group I or J) .
• Information such as event date, retroactive date and transaction reason is derived from the Manual Supplier Invoice window. For example, the event date is drawn from  the invoice date, the retroactive date is drawn from the default event date and the acquisition reason connected to the object is set as the add investment transaction reason, when invoice postings are saved with the relevant acquisition account and the fixed asset object. This information can be modified using Add Investment Information dialog.
