Fixed Assets

If a department segment has been disabled, and that department is tagged on some asset assignment accounts, why doesn't Oracle throw the expense into suspense (if that option is turned on in GL) versus 'blow up' the depreciation run?

It's a "feature". FA is the only module that goes directly to gl_je_lines, etc., without going through gl_interface.


Your budget book must use the same calendar as its associated corporate book.


If you want to create hierarchical asset category flexfield segment values, use the Define Value Set, Define Key Segment, and Define Key Segment Value forms to define your asset category flexfield. Then, to set up the value of the minor segment to be dependent on the value of the major segment, define the Value Set for the minor segment to be dependent on the value of the major segment.


You can also set up an asset category which uses a units of production depreciation method. Oracle Assets defaults the capacity and unit of measure from the asset category, and you can override them if necessary when you add the asset.


Since Oracle Assets does not Mass Copy revaluations, when you perform a revaluation in your corporate book, also perform it in each tax book associated with that corporate book.


It is true that Assets can only close once per period.. Ability to rerun depreciation has been high on enhancement list of a LONG time. You can run Projection, but be aware it does not match actual (which is another long standing popular enhancement request).
