Accounting Lines for Capitalization Tab

The Accounting Lines for Capitalization Tab is included in (and only in) documents that allow a capital object code:

• Advance Deposit

• Cash Receipt

• Credit Card Receipt

• Distribution of Income/Expense

• General Error Correction

• Internal Billing

• Procurement Card

• Service Billing

• Year End General Error Correction

• Year End Distribution of Income/Expense

This tab allows you to group capital assets affected by a particular financial transaction, thereby eliminating the need to create a separate financial transaction document for each item to be capitalized.

The tab works in conjunction with the Accounting Lines tab, the Create Capital Assets tab and the Modify Capital Assets tab. Initially, as you enter accounting lines in the Accounting Lines tab, the system automatically copies all accounting lines with capital object codes into the Accounting Lines for Capitalization tab. (As a result, most of the fields in the Accounting Lines for Capitalization tab are display-only.) Then, based on your selections in the Accounting Lines for Capitalization tab, the system displays data in the Create Capital Assets and/or Modify Capital Assets tab, where you enter the remaining asset information required for the transaction.

For information about the related tabs, see Accounting Lines Tab, Create Capital Assets Tab and Modify Capital Assets Tab.

Advance Deposit, Cash Receipt, and Credit Card Receipt documents allow you to modify assets but not to create them. The other documents listed above allow you to both create and modify assets.
