The expenses for assets under construction can be managed in two ways:
- In the application component Investment Management (IM), you can
create, post and manage investment orders or investment management
projects. These orders or projects are then reconciled with the asset under
construction. IM provides extensive functions for supporting investment
procedures.
- If IM is not used, the asset under construction can be posted to directly
in asset accounting.
Once the asset is complete:
- Masterdata must be created (if it does not already exist) for the asset
the AUC will be settled to.
- The values from the asset under construction account have to be settled
to one or more completed assets. The expenses are distributed to one or
more assets using a settlement rule, which defines what percentage
of the AUC goes to which asset.
Asset Explorer
- The asset explorer offers a clear overview of the
activity for an asset. You can see transactions that have been posted to the asset
plus planned and posted depreciation per depreciation area, per period, for
each fiscal year.
-You can drill down to the details of the FI transactions. Also,
you can conveniently switch to view another asset without leaving the screen.
