                          Activity Asset Code

This file contains asset information from AC10.3 (Activity Asset). It
includes activities tied to asset numbers (asset repairs) or asset templates
(asset creation).

An asset template is required for asset creation. Enter asset creation
information in AC10.3 (Activity Asset). An asset number is required for asset
repair. Enter asset repair information in the Repair section of the AC10.3
form.

The Asset Interface lets you enter asset information in the Activity
Management system  for cost tracking. Then the interface program transfers the
asset information to Asset Management when the activity is closed or the asset
can begin being depreciated.

An activity can be a unique asset, or each account category of the activity
can be an asset by itself. You define the assets based on how you want to
organize and capitalize assets. Asset transactions are created and enter the
Asset Management system when you run AC160 (Asset Interface).

Only activities with a capitalized status of Yes can create asset entries.
The asset cost amount is determined by summing activity expense transactions.
Activity expense transactions are flagged as capitalized when you create asset
transactions. So, if you run AC160 again for the activity, the amounts
previously capitalized are not capitalized again.

MCD-ACTIVITY         Alpha 15                                    AC10.3  AC110
Activity             Required key. This is the activity to
                     be capitalized.

MCD-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5                                     AC10.3  AC110
Account Category     Optional key. Enter an account category
                     if more than one asset is being created
                     for an activity. In this case, each
                     account category is a unique asset or
                     asset type.

                     Leave this field blank for activities
                     with one-to-one relationships (one
                     activity to one asset) to Asset
                     Management. In this case, each activity
                     is a unique asset.

MCD-ASSET-TEMPLATE   Alpha 10                                    AC10.3  AC110
Asset Template       This field is required for asset            AR250   AR251
                     creation. Asset templates are defined in    AR30.1  AR30.2
                     AM15.1 (Addition Template). The template    AR30.3
                     defines asset category and detail and
                     category options for an asset.

                     This field helps you enter activities
                     or account categories to the Asset
                     Management system. The template provides
                     a shortcut for you to enter asset
                     information. If you enter a template
                     name, you cannot enter an asset number.

MCD-ITEM-QUANTITY    Numeric 8                                   AC10.3  AC110
Item Quantity        Conditionally required. If you use an
                     asset template, item quantity is
                     required.

                     The Item Quantity field tells the
                     number of units that make up this asset
                     item. Each unit  of an item is exactly
                     the same as every other unit of the
                     item.

MCD-COMBINE          Alpha 10                                    AC10.3  AC110
Combine              Optional. This code indicates how asset
                     items in the Asset Interface are to be
                     combined. If you want to combine items,
                     this field is required. The Combine
                     field allows you to combine many
                     activities into a single asset.

                     To combine Asset Interface records, the
                     template, combine code, asset
                     description, tag, asset group, and
                     accounting unit must be the same.

MCD-ASSET-DESC       Alpha 30  (Lower Case)                      AC10.3  AC110
Asset Description    Conditionally required. If you use an
                     asset template, the asset description is
                     required.

                     If you leave this field blank, the
                     activity description defaults.

MCD-TAG-NBR          Alpha 12                                    AC10.3  AC110
Tag Number           Optional. You can assign a number to
                     identify each asset item. If you use an
                     asset template, tag number is optional.

MCD-ASSET-GROUP      Alpha 10                                    AC10.3  AC110
Asset Group          Optional. You can create a grouping of
                     assets in an asset group. If you use an
                     asset template, asset group is optional.


MCD-ITEM-NBR         Alpha 32                                    AC10.3  AC110
Item Number          Optional. This is the item number of an
                     asset composed of different elements,
                     but depreciated as a single unit. If you
                     use an asset template, item number is
                     optional.

MCD-DESCRIPTION      Alpha 30  (Lower Case)                      AC10.3  AC110
Item Description     This is the item number description.

MCD-PURCHASE-DATE    Numeric 8  (yyyymmdd)                       AC10.3  AC110
Purchase Date        Optional. This field contains the date
                     the asset was purchased. The purchase
                     date can be different from the
                     in-service dates used for the
                     depreciation books.

                     If you use an asset template, purchase
                     date is required. If you leave this
                     field blank, the Asset Management
                     interface defaults the distribution
                     date. Or if you enter an in-service
                     date, the in-service date defaults to
                     the Purchase Date field.

MCD-INSRV-DATE       Numeric 8  (yyyymmdd)                       AC10.3  AC110
In-service Date      Optional. This is the date the asset is
                     placed in service. The in-service date
                     cannot be before the purchase date.

                     If you use an asset template, a
                     purchase date is required. If you leave
                     this field blank, the Asset Management
                     interface defaults the purchase date.

MCD-ITEM-TAX         Signed 15.2                                 AC10.3  AC110
Item Tax             Optional. You can enter a tax amount
                     for an item. If you use an asset
                     template, you can enter an item tax
                     amount. The item tax amount is added to
                     the item cost calculated by the Asset
                     Management interface.

MCD-MODEL-NUMBER     Alpha 30                                    AC10.3  AC110

Serial Number        This is an optional field used for the
                     serial number of the asset. This field
                     is valid only if you use an asset
                     template.

MCD-HOLD-AM          Alpha 1                                     AC10.3  AC110
Asset Management     Optional. This field indicates whether
Hold                 assets are to be held in the Asset
                     Management interface. It is valid only
                     if you are creating an asset.

                     Use Yes to hold an asset template. Use
                     No to indicate a template is not to be
                     held.
                     N = No
                     Y = Yes

MCD-ASSET            Numeric 10                                  AC10.3  AC110

                     10 alphanumeric characters that uniquely    AR30.3
                     identify an asset.

                     If you enter an asset number, you
                     cannot use an asset template.

Code                 work-in-process (WIP) account. This
                     account is for the credit side entry for
                     asset creation only. If you leave this
                     field blank, the system allocates
                     amounts to the appropriate account based
                     on the original cost entries posted to
                     the activity and account category.
