Fundamentals Table of Contents vii Step Delete Mass Additions Step Delete Mass Additions (N) Mass Additions > Delete Mass Additions • In the Mass Additions form, place lines that should not become assets in the DELETE queue • Run the Delete Mass Additions program to remove unwanted mass addition lines • All lines in the DELETE, POSTED and SPLIT queues are removed from the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS table SPLIT parents are removed if the split children have been posted or deleted • The program archives mass additions in the DELETE queue to an audit trail table, FA_DELETED_MASS_ADDITIONS only Lines assigned to the DELETE queue are not journalized; clear these with a manual journal entry Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 36 Purge Mass Additions Purge Mass Additions From the Fixed Assets Administrator Responsibility (N) Purge > Mass Additions • Purge Mass Additions is only available under the Fixed Assets Administrator responsibility • Run the Purge Mass Additions program to remove mass additions from the archive table FA_DELETED_MASS_ADDITIONS • Purging Effects: - The program purges all mass additions you marked for deletion and removed from the Mass Additions form using Delete Mass Additions - Purging the archive table frees hardware resources - You cannot restore information after purging Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 37 Future Transactions Future Transactions Oracle Assets supports one open asset accounting period However, Oracle Assets allows you to enter transactions for future accounting periods When you enter a future transaction, it is temporarily stored in the FA_MASS_ADDITIONS interface table This pending transaction does not become effective until the transaction date for the transaction is within the current open period in Oracle Assets For example, if the current open period is May 2000, and you enter an adjustment transaction with a transaction date of 01–Sep–2000, the transaction does not become effective until Sep–2000 is the current open period When you open a new accounting period, the Process Pending Transactions concurrent program runs and automatically processes all pending transactions with a transaction date that falls within the open period You not need to enter any further transaction detail to complete the transaction in the effective open period The Process Pending Transactions program looks up the transaction date of each pending transaction If the transaction date falls within the current open period of the corporate book, the program processes that transaction Any exceptions are written to the log file It is not necessary to enter future transactions in chronological order The Process Pending Transactions program automatically processes pending transactions in chronological order Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 38 You can also add assets from invoice lines from Oracle Payables, and provide a future date placed in service These invoices must first be posted to future General Ledger periods from Oracle Payables and satisfy all other mass addition criteria to be successfully interfaced from Oracle Payables to Oracle Assets Entering Future Transactions (N) Mass Additions > Prepare Mass Additions (B) New Enter the corporate depreciation book to which the asset will be added Select a Queue Name from the list of values Enter the transaction date for this addition The date must be a future date In other words, the date must be later than the last day of the current open period Enter the number of units Note: Before running the Process Pending Transaction process, you must set the queue name to POST Otherwise, the addition will not be processed in the appropriate period Process Pending Transactions • When you open a new accounting period, the Process Pending Transactions concurrent program runs and automatically processes all pending transactions with a transaction date that falls within the open period You not need to enter any further transaction detail to complete the transaction in the effective open period - The Process Pending Transactions program looks up the transaction date of each pending transaction If the transaction date falls within the current open period of the corporate book, the program processes that transaction Any exceptions are written to the log file - It is not necessary to enter future transactions in chronological order The Process Pending Transactions program automatically processes pending transactions in chronological order Creating Future Transactions in Oracle Payables • Oracle Payables allows you to enter invoices with a future date placed in service However, you cannot post these invoices to General Ledger until the period is open Invoices that are not yet posted to Oracle General Ledger cannot be transferred to Oracle Assets • Normally, the Mass Additions Create program in Oracle Payables forces the date placed in service to be in the current open period, even if the General Ledger date and invoice date are in the future To use Oracle Assets to process future invoice additions, you must set the FA: Default DPIS to Invoice Date profile option to Yes This allows you to default the date placed in service to the invoice date, even though the • invoice date is in a future accounting period To review future mass additions lines: Mass Additions > Prepare Mass Additions Enter the selection criteria for the mass additions lines (B) Find Highlight the desired invoice line and select Open Review the future mass addition Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 39 When you are ready to run the Process Pending Transactions process, change the queue name to POST for any future transactions that need to be processed The date placed in service, or transaction date, defaults to the invoice date However, you can overwrite the transaction date Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 40 Quiz Answer: Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 41 View Pending Transactions View Pending Transactions When you enter a future transaction, the system assigns a transaction type as an audit trail Available transaction types are: • FUTURE ADD –– manual or invoice addition of asset • FUTURE ADJUST – a manual or invoice adjustment • FUTURE CAPITALIZE – capitalization of current or future CIP assets You should view all pending transactions for an asset before performing adjustments and other future transactions Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 42 Quiz Answer: Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 43 Creating Assets Using Web ADI Create Assets Using Web ADI Use Web ADI to create assets additions through the Additions Integrator The Additions Integrator provides a spreadsheet-based interface to simplify asset creation • Use the Additions Integrator to automatically build personalized asset entry spreadsheets based on the information required by your organization's specific implementation of Oracle Assets • You can enter your asset data manually, use the list of values, and take advantage of Excel's data entry shortcuts • You can also map data files from legacy systems or third party payables applications into the asset worksheet • When you are satisfied with the worksheet, the Upload feature automatically uploads the data into Oracle Assets Web ADI comes seeded with five layouts, but you can also create your own custom layouts The seeded layouts are as follows: • Add Assets – Default • Add Assets – Detailed Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 44 • • • Add Assets from Supplied Invoices Add CIP Assets Add Leased Assets Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 45 Web ADI Upload to Oracle Assets Web ADI Upload to Oracle Assets After creating asset data in an asset spreadsheet, you must upload them to Oracle Assets Uploading is a two-step process First, you must upload your asset data to the interface table Second, you must post the asset data from the interface table to Oracle Assets You can select from the following options to control uploading and importing: • Rows to Upload: Controls which rows in the asset worksheet to upload Select: - All Rows > to upload all rows in your worksheet, regardless of whether changes have been made - Flagged Rows > to upload only those rows that are marked with a flag character in the upload column of your worksheet - Note: The Upload process validates all asset data, verifying field type and length Web ADI also performs flexfield validation, cross-validation and segment security checking • Create Assets: Check this check box to start the Create Assets process and create assets automatically after the upload completes Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter - Page 46 - If you choose to start the Create Assets process automatically, Web ADI will the following after the upload completes: Submit your Create Assets request Display a form showing: Number of errors in the upload to the interface table Post Mass Additions request ID A message indicating that a concurrent request has been submitted for the Post Mass Additions Mass Additions Posting Report request IDs Copyright © Oracle, 2010 All rights reserved Mass Asset Additions Chapter
