Change Asset [U0120]

Introduction

Option Descriptions

 

For each of the Change Asset options, this screen is used to input the asset number to be changed. In LeasePak, the screen will be displayed with the option name in the title bar.

 

Adjust Original Cost

Assets newly added, with accounts payable not yet paid to the vendor, are in pre-inventory, status NRIV, and their cost may be adjusted. The ADJUST ASSET ORIGINAL COST field on the Custom General update [U0712] governs whether cost can be adjusted even if accounts payable have been disbursed for the asset as long as it is not on lease. With the Custom General switch set to Y, assets remain in status NRIV until they are booked on a lease. Error messages will appear if the asset selected is on lease (status NLSE) or sold (NSLD). Residual and other charges can be adjusted for assets in NRIN status.

Asset cost may not be adjusted after a tax year has expired and depreciation has been taken on the asset.

A warning message will be displayed if an active note is attached to the lease. The message appears if the Notes Payable module is purchased.

 

This screen appears if the asset has sub-assets. Acquisition cost is entered and maintained at the sub-asset level. Modify the amounts in the ACQ COST field for each sub-asset to change original cost. The first TOTAL at the bottom of the screen will increase or decrease as cost changes. The total is the original cost for the parent asset.

ID cannot be changed for a sub-asset. LeasePak seems to allow the user to override an ID, but the change is not stored on the sub-asset (MEQ_SN) file.

A sub-asset may be deleted by deleting its ID if the asset is newly added and not yet on lease.

For background information on sub-assets and parent assets, refer to the sub-asset entry screens of the Add Asset option of the New Lease update [U0101].

 

This screen is used to change financial information for the asset selected. Other types of incorrect financial information may be modified through the other options of this update [U0120] or the Asset update [U0210]. If a newly added asset has incorrect information that may not be changed through either update, use the Delete Asset option, then the Add Asset option of the New Lease update [U0101] to add the asset correctly.

Field Descriptions

Change Depreciation

Depreciation for an asset that has been sold may not be changed.

 

This screen appears if the asset has sub-assets. Salvage value is entered and maintained at the sub-asset level. Modify the amounts in the SAL % or SALVAGE VALUE fields if the change to depreciation is needed because of an error in entry of salvage value. The second TOTAL at the bottom of the screen will increase or decrease as salvage value changes. The total is the book salvage value for the parent asset.

Enter the Part Number for the asset and sub-assets is displayed, up to 25 characters. LeasePak will track all sub-assets under the same Part Number for any Salvage Write Down [U0128] purposes.

For background information on sub-assets and parent assets, refer to the sub-asset entry screens of the Add Asset option of the New Lease update [U0101].
