AM21.1 - Leased Asset Quick Addition

**Form Purpose
Use Leased Asset Quick Addition (AM21.1) to add a leased asset with minimal
keying. This program combines the functions of Leased Asset Addition and
Adjustment (AM21.2), Items (AM21.3), and Books (AM21.4) by letting you use
leased asset information defaulted from an asset template. You cannot use this
form to modify an asset.

**Process at a Glance

1. (This step) Define asset header, detail, and item information, item
information using AM21.1.

2. Access, change, or delete system-prompted journal entries using Journal
Entries (AM21.5).

3. (Optional) Verify assets using AM220 and modify as needed using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4.

4. Release assets in batch (using AM170) or individually (using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4).

**More Information
If you transfer to this form from Lease Addition (LM21.1), the lease company
and lease number display on this form.

If the asset you are adding belongs to an asset class, you should use a
template defined specifically for that asset class, with a type and default
accounting unit or accounting unit group pointing to a unique set of asset,
accumulated depreciation, and depreciation expense accounts used only for that
asset class. The template should also associate the assets with a Part 32
(asset class) book. You should not override the template's type, default
accounting unit, or accounting unit group.

After you have added asset information using this program, if the template
includes a posting book, the program automatically navigates to the Journal
Entries (AM21.5) where you can add, change, or accept system-prompted journal
entries. If multiple items exist, the system uses the most recent date for
each item.

You can override any template field values except for the books, which retain
the values assigned on the template. Once you use this form to create an
asset, you must use AM21.2, AM21.3, or AM21.4 to modify or release the asset.

You must release a leased asset before you can release the lease it is
associated with in the Lease Management system.

AM21.2 - Leased Asset Addition and Adjustment

**Form Purpose
Use Leased Asset Addition and Adjustment (AM21.2) to add a leased asset
manually or modify existing leased asset information. This program is required
if you do not use addition templates or if you add more than seven items.

**Process at a Glance

1. (This step) Define leased asset header and detail information.

2. Define asset item information using Items (AM21.3).

3. Assign asset books using Books (AM21.4).

4. Access, change, or delete system-prompted journal entries using Journal
Entries (AM21.5).

5. (Optional) Verify assets using AM220 and modify as needed using steps 1
though 4.

6. Release assets in batch (using AM170) or individually (using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4).

**More Information
If you do not enter an accounting unit group, you must enter a default
accounting unit to be used for all accounts defined for the asset type and
account group you associate with the asset. If you enter an accounting unit
group, but some of the fields in your accounting unit group are left
undefined, you must also enter a default accounting unit group to be used for
those undefined fields.

For asset class depreciation, proper implementation is critical to avoid
over-depreciation. If you use the class depreciation solution, you must
strictly follow the one-on-one correlation between a type and the set of
General Ledger accounts used by an asset class that you must track on its own.
For instance, you should not set up class-depreciated assets that use the same
asset account (that is, company, accounting unit, account) but have different
accounts for depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation. Thus it is
incorrect to set up accounting unit groups that leave the depreciation expense
or accumulated depreciation accounting units blank, allowing users to send
depreciation amounts to multiple accounting units and accounts.

When you first add an asset, the program automatically guides you through the
process by navigating to the appropriate form. When you modify an asset, you
must open the appropriate forms; only AM21.5 will be prompted automatically.

Choose the Attributes button to open Asset Attributes (AM23.1) and assign
asset attributes to an existing asset. Choose the Repairs button to open
Repairs (AM21.6) and define repair information for an existing asset. Choose
the Projections button to open Projections (AM21.7) and view depreciation
projections for a book and company. AM21.7 is a stand-alone program that runs
independently of any asset.

AM21.3 - Items

**Form Purpose
Use Items (AM21.3) to define one or more items for a newly created leased
asset or to change item information for existing leased assets. You must
define at least one item, and there is no maximum number of items that can be
defined.

**Process at a Glance

1. Define asset header and detail information using Leased Asset Addition and
Adjustments (AM21.2).

2. (This step) Define asset item information using Items (AM21.3).

3. Assign asset books using Books (AM21.4).

4. Access, change, or delete system-prompted journal entries using Journal
Entries (AM21.5).

5. (Optional) Verify assets using AM220 and modify as needed using steps 1
though 4.

6. Release assets in batch (using AM170) or individually (using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4).

**More Information
You do not need to assign an item number or a description to an item. If you
do not assign a description, the asset description is used. If you have
multiple items, however, you probably would want to assign each a number and
description to help you keep track of your items.

AM21.3 can modify items or add items to any assets created using Leased Asset
Quick Addition (AM21.1) or Leased Additions and Adjustments (AM21.2).

Use the Items form tab to define the item name, in-service date, quantity and
cost. Optionally, you can use the Detail line tab to enter the item model and
serial number, and the tax paid for the item You can also use the Invoice,
Activity detail tab, to associate each item with a purchase order, an invoice,
or an activity.

You can use the Control Totals form tab if you are defining more than one
item to ensure that the total cost and number of items of the asset matches
the control numbers you enter.

After you use this form to define new leased asset items or modify existing
ones, you will be transferred automatically to Books (AM21.4). You will also
be transferred automatically to Journal Entries (AM21.5) if your changes
require new journal entries in the general ledger.

AM21.4 - Books

**Form Purpose
Use Books (AM21.4) to assign depreciation books and depreciation parameters
to a new leased asset, or to modify book assignments for an existing leased
asset. Any books defined as required on Current Calendar (AM01.1) display
automatically on this form. You can associate an unlimited number of books to
an asset.

Note This step is optional for non-depreciable leased assets.

**Process at a Glance

1. Define asset header and detail information using Leased Asset Addition and
Adjustment (AM21.2).

2. Define asset item information using Items (AM21.3).

3. (This step) Assign asset books using Books (AM21.4).

4. Access, change, or delete system-prompted journal entries using Journal
Entries (AM21.5).

5. (Optional) Verify assets using AM220 and modify as needed using steps 1
though 4.

6. Release assets in batch (using AM170) or individually (using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4).

**Processing Effect
Many of the fields on this form are defaulted from other forms. You can
accept them as is or modify them.

The depreciable basis defaults from the total item cost. The in-service date
defaults from the item purchase date. If multiple items with different
purchase dates are entered, the latest purchase date defaults. The in-service
convention defaults from the book definition (defined in AM00.1). All default
information can be overridden.

**More Information
If you create an asset in a period later than the period when the asset was
placed in service, you can use the Compute Option field to define how to
distribute the catch-up depreciation. You can spread the whole year's
depreciation over the remaining periods in the current year (Compute Option =
No) or you can spread the depreciation over the entire year, and charge the
entire catch-up depreciation amount to the current period (Compute option =
Yes).

If you are adjusting an existing asset, you can use the Compute Option field
to define how to distribute the adjusted depreciation amounts. Besides the two
previous options, you have one additional compute option: You can spread the
catch-up adjustments amounts over the remaining life of the asset (Compute
Option = Prospective).

You can assign a different in-service date and compute option to each book
that the asset uses.

You can use the detail tabs to enter optional information specific to a book.
Choose the Depreciation detail tab to enter year-to-date and life-to-date
depreciation amounts, and to override the asset compute option. Choose the
Depreciation Option detail tab to indicate the depreciation method used if
business use falls below a specified percentage. Choose the Insurance and
Replacement detail tabs to specify the method used to calculate insurance and
replacement values. And choose the Tax option detail tab to enter tax credit
information.

AM21.5 - Journal Entries

**Form Purpose
Use Journal Entries (AM21.5) to accept, change, or reject the automatically
generated journal entries.

AM21.5 automatically displays automatically when an addition or modification
to a leased asset requires you to generate general ledger journal entries. You
can also open the form independently to view, add, change, or delete journal
entries specific to an asset.

**Process at a Glance

1. Define asset header and detail information using Leased Asset Addition and
Adjustment (AM21.2).

2. Define asset item information using Items (AM21.3).

3. Assign asset books using Books (AM21.4).

4. (This step) Access, change, or delete system-prompted journal entries
using Journal Entries (AM21.5).

5. (Optional) Verify assets using AM220 and modify as needed using steps 1
though 4.

6. Release assets in batch (using AM170) or individually (using AM21.2,
AM21.3, or AM21.4).

**More Information
If you reject the prompted entries, you may need to add journal entries
manually at a later time to ensure that the Asset Management and General
Ledger systems are in balance.
