Purchasing a fixed asset

A fixed asset can be purchased using two modules:

• Fixed Assets
• Accounts Payable

  In the Accounts Payable module, invoices related to fixed assets are registered in two ways:

  • Cost purchase invoice
  • Order-related purchase invoice

To create a fixed asset:

1. In the Assets (tffam1500m000) session, create a new asset and specify the required values.
2. Review the asset status. The Asset Status field is set to Entered. The default values for the asset books and the locations are based on the FAM parameters.
3. Continue with the capitalization process. For more information, refer to Capitalizing Assets process.
