Capitalization (tffam1200m000)

Use this session to capitalize one or more selected assets.

When you capitalize an asset, its status and the status of each of its related books changes from Entered to Acquired. If the asset book contains accumulated depreciation and is capitalized, the status of the asset book becomes Depreciating. After you capitalize an asset, you can begin depreciating it at any time.

You can capitalize assets that have the Entered or the Removed status. If you removed the capitalization of an asset, you can recapitalize the aset, for example, after making corrections to the asset's value. Next, you can recapitalize the asset that has the Removed status.

Note: 
  • If necessary, you can remove the capitalization status of an asset. This removes an asset from in-service and prevents it from depreciating. If you want to remove capitalization, see the Remove Capitalization (tffam1201m000) session.
  • The Asset Cost Exceeds Unit Max Value message warns you that the cost of the asset divided by quantity is greater than the unit max value of the FAM Parameters (tffam0100s000) session. Only assets with a First Period Depreciation Method category are checked.
