Activity Asset (AC10.3)

Use Activity Asset (AC10.3) to define and maintain the parameters used to capitalize activity costs in the Lawson Asset Management application. This process is referred to as capitalization. You can capitalize accumulated activity costs to one asset or multiple assets.

Note: You can only use AC10.3 if you use both and Asset Management.

More Information

Consider the following when setting up activities to be capitalized:

Define activity asset information on AC10.3. Parameters can be defined for a posting activity and detail account category, or for all detail account categories associated with a posting activity.
Account categories containing costs you want to capitalize must be flagged to allow capitalization by setting the Cap field to Y on Account Category Structure Detail (AC08.3), or on Override Account Categories (AC06.1).
The activity status must allow capitalization. Use Status (AC02.1) and select the Cap field. Then assign that status on Activity (AC10.1).

You can use combine codes to create one asset from multiple activities and account categories. Assign the same combine code, asset template, asset description, tag, hold code, and asset group.

If you use activities to accumulate repair or maintenance costs on existing assets, you can use the Repair tab to track those costs with the asset in Asset Management. The costs do not add to the asset's value, and are tracked only as information.
