Split Asset [U0214]

 

Introduction

The Split Asset update [U0214] allows splitting one asset into two. This is useful if components of an asset need to be separated.

Note: An asset which was originally entered with sub-assets is split with the Split/Merge Qty. Asset update [U0112], not with this update. For more information on entering sub-assets, refer to the Add Asset option of the New Lease update [U0101].

After selecting an existing asset to split, the original asset number and information are displayed along with a new asset number and fields to enter the new asset information. The fields for the new asset are defaulted with the original asset's information, except for the identification field, which is blank, and the financial information fields, which are defaulted to zero.

Note: Prior to 2.2a, LeasePak would only calculate the percent of schedule based on the weighted share of total acquisition cost on all assets. Now in 2.2a, LeasePak allows for an alternate calculation for percent of schedule based on the weighted share of the total payment amount. See EBV Payoff Method in the Calculations Document of the Reference Guide as well as the Miscellaneous Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712].

Also: Not all original asset information will be defaulted to the screens in this update, Split Asset [U0214]. If additional changes need to be made to the UCC or Certificate of Ownership, these changes must be made in the Asset [U0210] update.

All information for the new asset may be modified. The amounts in the financial information fields of the new asset must be less than the amounts in the corresponding fields of the original asset. The amounts of the original asset plus the amounts of the new asset must always equal amounts for the original asset before the split.

Note: Security must be set in the Security update [U0706] for a user to have access to split/merge Assets.

Depreciation recorded for the asset being split is divided between the original asset and the new asset based on each one's percentage of the original acquisition cost.

A split asset automatically receives the movement status code "SPLT" (for asset split) on the Asset Movement Status (DES) file.

If the User-Defined Fields module is purchased and user defined fields/ table information exists for the original asset, it may be transferred to the new asset.

 

Use this screen to specify the asset to split.

You cannot split an asset if the Notes Payable module is purchased and a note is attached to the asset.

 

ID, Supplier, Use Tax, Cost

The original asset information is displayed and all fields of the new asset except IDENTIFICATION and dollar amounts are defaulted with the values of the original asset. A new asset number is displayed. Defaulted values may be changed, and the new identification, acquisition cost, other charges, residual, accounts payable, and list price may be entered. Dollar amounts for the original asset will be reduced by amounts entered for the new asset.

 

Location, Description

Information from the original asset is displayed and defaulted to the new asset. The new asset number is displayed and street address, description, operator/driver name, and check reference may be entered for the new asset.

 

Transfer UDF/UDT

This screen is used to indicate whether user defined information is to be transferred to the new asset. It appears only if the User-Defined Fields module is purchased and custom fields/table information exists for the original asset.
