| Rules for TransferringYou can indicate the
transfer amount as a quantity or as a percentage. You can also transfer assets
according to the location or account. The rules that apply to asset transfers
are described below. General transfer rules The following general transfer rules apply: - Additional posting
does not affect asset transfer.
- No additional posting
or economic recapture data transfers with an asset. Therefore, if you want to
continue additional posting or economic recapture in the destination asset, you
must process an adjustment for that asset or those assets.
- The shift factor is
not carried forward to the new asset, but is automatically reset.
- Distribution memos are
not copied into the destination asset.
Transferring assets In the Asset Transfer (tffam1203m000) session, you can transfer by quantity or by
percentage. You can transfer by percentage for an asset distributed by
quantity, and you can transfer by quantity for an asset distributed by
percentage. If you transfer by
percentage, you specify the percentage of the asset's total cost that LN must transfer. If you
transfer by quantity, you specify the portion of the asset's total quantity
that LN must transfer. Note If you transfer a
group of assets through the Mass Transfers (tffam8211m000) session, you must transfer by percentage regardless of
how the assets are distributed. Quantity and percentage transfer rules: The following rules apply to transfer by quantity and by
percentage: - You cannot transfer
more than the total quantity of the asset, and you cannot transfer a fractional
quantity (such as 1.5).
- For an asset with a
total quantity of one, you cannot record a partial transfer. In a full transfer
of an asset with a total quantity of one, LN sets the total
quantity of the destination to one and the source to zero.
- If you transfer by
quantity for an asset distributed by quantity, the destination quantity you
enter for each distribution line cannot exceed the source quantity of that
line.
- If you transfer an
asset distributed by percentage by quantity, the sum of the destination
quantities you enter for each distribution line cannot exceed the total
quantity of the source asset, but otherwise bears no relationship to the
percentage on each line.
- If you transfer by
percentage, the sum of the destination percentages you enter cannot exceed
100%, but can be less than 100%. For each distribution line, the destination
percentage can exceed the percentage entered for the source asset.
- If you transfer by
percentage, the destination percentages you enter indicate the percentage of
the source asset's total cost you want to transfer, not the percentage of the
amount on each line that you want to transfer.
- If you transfer a
single asset by quantity, LN calculates the percentage that the quantity
represents and applies it to the cost. If the resulting quantity is a fraction, LN rounds it to a whole
number. The result of this calculation is the quantity that LN transfers.
- In mass transfer, LN transfers the records
in which all criteria are met and rejects the records that do not meet all the
criteria.
For example, if you
have an asset with a total quantity of four and a cost of 10,000, and you
transfer a quantity of three, LN calculates that this percentage is 75%, and
reduces the source asset's cost to $2,500. The destination asset gets a total
cost of $7,500. | |
