Screen management

This function is composed of:

a header that is used to specify the processing options and to choose the company and the financial sites to which the assets to be processed belong,
The Parameters tab used to enter the new account allocations.
the Depreciation plans that is used to view any new depreciation methods determined by the field associations and to carry out any modifications required,
the Extended selection tab that is used to select the assets to be processed.

Management method for the window

The management is the same for this window as for all the mass process functions that can be applied to assets.

Process setup

First of all, the user needs to set up the process or to recall an existing setup using the button. The existing setup will have been previously saved under a Memo code.

The setup of the processing consists in:

- Entering the processing options. By default, the process is carried out in Simulation mode and generates a Detailed Log file displaying the different parameters applied at the time of the process execution as well as the list of updated assets.

- Selecting the company and potential other financial sites where the assets are registered.

- To enter the new accounting allocations.

- To select the depreciation plans on which the deprecation methods determined by applying the field associations or entered manually are to be applied.

- Carrying out if necessary a selection of the assets concerned by the process.

Note: when the setup of a processing is completed, it is possible to save it under an identification code using the button. It is then possible to recall it at a later date for use in a method change.

Running the process

Once the setup is done, it is possible to:

Either directly apply the entered parameters to each of the selected assets, by clicking . A coherence check on the new accounting allocations as well as the new methods is then carried out; in the case of an asset with an error, the previous allocation and method are conserved and an error message is inserted in the process report.

Note: When an update of the Residual value is required, the button cannot be accessed. The jump to the Control window is mandatory in order to enter the residual value at the level of each asset.
Or go through an intermediate control stage of the entered parameters by clicking the button.

A control window opens containing two tables.

1/ The first presents the list of assets selected and for each of them, if no error is detected, the new accounting allocations.

2/ The second table contains the depreciation plans for the asset highlighted by the cursor in the first table and on which a depreciation method change has been requested. If the asset has an accounting allocation error, no depreciation method is displayed in this table.

It is used to:

- view the depreciation new methods,
- Identify by color display the potential lines with errors along with the corresponding error messages. The assets associated with errors are not updated with the entered parameters; they are displayed with their original method parameters.
- Correct or adjust the depreciation parameters.

Any modification of one or more depreciation parameters carried out on an asset, must be validated by the button. To cancel the modifications in progress on the asset, click .
Once the manual adjustments are completed, click the button to close the control window; the system displays again the entry window for parameters, which enables the user either to validate the mass update by clicking , or to abort the update by clicking the button.

Processing description

An accounting allocation change performs the following operations:

Update of the assets with the new allocations and depreciation methods, as long as the following rules are respected:

1/ An allocation change leading to a CoA account Nature of Charge or Fixed asset in process is not applied to assets with the nature Fixed asset in service, when an earlier depreciation total exists for one of the asset plans (outside of IAS/IFRS plan). The same goes for the IAS/IFRS accounting nature when an IAS/IFRS depreciation total exists for the IAS/IFRS plan.

2/ On exiting the account transfer, the assets must be posted to at least one fixed asset account either according to the CoA standards or to the IAS/IFRS standards.
For each, generation of:

- a Main event of Allocation change (FASCHGIMP)
- if necessary, of method change event (FASMTC),
- as many Secondary events of Allocation change (FASCHGIMP), as periods with a Definitive posting on the original allocations (both on the current fiscal year and the next one).

- The effective operating date is saved in the EVTDAT field.
- The effective accounting date is saved in the CPTDATINT field.

Note:

--> When the allocation change corresponds to a start-up (transfer from an In progress account to an In service account), the EVTDAT field is loaded with the Date put into service, and the CPTDATINT field is loaded with the furthest of these dates: Depreciation start date, Start date of the current period.

--> When the allocation change does not involve a transfer from an In progress account to an In service account:

1/ In the Principal event FASCHGIMP: EVTDAT and CPTDATINT display the furthest of these dates: Depreciation start date, Start date of the current period.

2/ In the Secondary event FASCHGIMP: EVTDAT is loaded with the start date of the period concerned (already posted in Final) and CPTDATINT is loaded either with the start date of the current period (for events pertaining to the closed periods of the current fiscal year), or the start date of the period concerned (for events pertaining to the open periods of the current or next fiscal year).

The inquiry of events in the Event journal window that can be accessed from the Other info tab of the Assets management function.
In this window, the Main events can be identified thanks to the icon displayed at line start. Double-clicking this icon expands the tree view of the list of Secondary events linked to it.
In the event content, the field EVTPRINC - Main event of type Local menu, enables the distinction between main event and secondary event, both events are linked by an alphanumeric field: TIMSTPP - Time stamp.

Header

The header contains the process options and is used to select the company as well as the site(s) that are referenced to the assets to be processed.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Options

Simulation (field FLGSIM)

This box is checked by default. It specifies that the processing is carried out in simulation mode. In this case, the controls and the process are carried out but no modification of the database is recorded.

Report (field FLGETA)

This indicator can be accessed only when one or several reports are linked to the massive process. In this case, the activation of this indicator enables the user to print these reports.

Detailed log file (field FLGDET)

A log file is automatically displayed on process completion, showing the processing parameters. A Statistics section gives the number of selected assets, the number of assets updated as well as the number of assets not processed due to an error. Assets with errors are listed with their error reason.

When this box is ticked, the log file is displayed in the form of a detailed report presenting, in addition to the information listed above, the list of assets successfully processed.

The viewing and printing of log files are possible at any time via the report code ATRACE - Print log file print request, obtained from the Supervisor function in the Print/Group print menu.

Grid Company selection

field FLGCPY

Help common to all the mass processings.
The grid displays the list of the managed companies for which the user is authorized.

Site (field FCY)

Identification code of the site.

Options

Simulation:
This check box, selected by default, is used to carry out the simulation of an accounting allocation change on the selected assets. The modification of the assets is not recorded in the database.

The impact of the processing on the assets can be viewed in the log file displayed on process completion.
Detailed log file:
A log file is systematically displayed on completion of the process, showing the process options, the selection criteria, the new accounting allocations as well as, for each of the plans involved, any new methods. A Statistics section gives the number of selected assets, the number of assets updated as well as the number of assets not processed due to an error. Assets with errors are listed with their error reason.

If this check box is selected, the log file is displayed in the form of a detailed report presenting, in addition to the information indicated above, the list of the successfully processed assets as well as their previous accounting allocations.

Note: the viewing and printing of the log files is possible at any time via the Print log file print request of the ATRACE report code, obtained from the Supervisor function in the Print/Group print menu.

Company selection – Site selection

These tables display both the list of managed companies for which the user is authorized and the list of financial sites corresponding to these companies where the user is authorized.

SEEINFO When the company parameter ACCPERCTL - Control of accounting periods (chapter AAS, group CPT) has Yes for value, the company is not displayed in the list as soon as at least of one its context is not synchronized with the accounting period/fiscal breakdown. In this case, it is necessary to launch the Context synchronization process.
The desynchronization status of a context can be viewed on the Detailed status of contexts, Calculation tab (the value of the Modification type field is set to: CNX and the value of the field Modified parameter is DESYNC).

It is necessary to select the company and the sites in which the assets involved in the processing, are registered. After the selection of the company, all the sites linked to the company are selected by default. The user can de-select those that are not concerned by the processing.
Provided they belong to the same company, the site(s) involved in the processing can be directly selected, in which case the company to which they belong is automatically selected.

Reminder: the assets must be registered in sites attached to the same company. Selecting a second company, or sites linked to another company, leads to the de-selection of the first company selected, after validation of a confirmation message.

After having selected the company or the site(s), it is possible to refine the selection by entering other selection criteria in the dedicated Extended selection tab.

Tab Setup definition

Presentation

This tab is used:

Specify the reason justifying the allocation change.
Modify the accounting allocations:

- Holding type: only the value In property can be selected. It cannot be applied except to assets where the holding type is In lease contract and for which no leasing contract reference has been entered.

- Classification of the assets as Held for sales: this classification stops the depreciation for theIAS/IFRS plans.

- Family and/or Accounting code
View the new Nature and CoA allocation (and any IAS/IFRS if the IAS/IFRS standards are managed) if the accounting code is modified, either directly, or by means of the application of the section associations after the modification of the Family.

$..\FCT\SEEINFO$ The effective date of the allocation change is automatically determined as follows:

- If the accounting allocation change does not involve the switch from a fixed asset account In process to an account In service, the operation effective date and the accounting effective date have two different values: Depreciation start date, Start date of the current period.
If the accounting allocation change does involve the switch from a fixed asset account In process to an account In service, the operation effective date is the first use date, and the accounting effective date is the furthest of the following: Start-up date and Current period start date.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Transfer parameters

Reason (field MVTTYP)

This field is used to enter the reason for an account posting change. This information is mandatory.

Transfer type

Holding type (field FLGOWN)

This indicator is linked to the field that follows. It enables the user to force the value of the field when it is activated.

Holding type (field OWNTYPD)

Help common to the single and mass processes for the account posting change.
This field enbales the user to modify the holding type of the asset or, in the case of a massive process, all the selected financial assets. Only the assets with holding type In lease contract for which no lease contract reference has been entered, can be modified. It can then take as value In property.

Asset held for sale (field FLGSAL)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.
When activated, this indicator is used to classify the asset or all the assets (in the case of a mass processing) as held for sale.
Use this classification to anticipate on the sale of an asset in the standard IAS/IFRS plans.
The classification date must be specified in the next field.
The classification for sales is only authorized for assets with the 'Property' holding type.
This action applies to each of the depreciation IAS/IFRS standard plans and triggers the stop of the depreciation on these plans.
Update 8.0.0 and higher:
The classification for sales prohibits any other business action on the asset and a fiscal year closing is unauthorized as long as the asset has not been disposed.
A classified for sale asset can be identified using the classification date displayed in the disposal information.
Classification cancellation
As long as the asset has not been disposed, the classification for sale can be canceled by unchecking this flag.
If the classification date is prior to the start date of the current period, this cancellation will be effective from the beginning of the current period.
If the classification date is later than or equal to the current period start date, the deletion will be carried out as if the asset had never been classified for sale.

Classification date (field SALCLSDATD)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.
The classification date can only be specified when the Asset held for sale flag is activated.
The date entered must be later than or equal to the current fiscal year start date.

Classifying an asset as held for sale stops the depreciation of the asset for each IAS/IFRS plan and changes the depreciation method to 'Residual'. If the classification date is greater than the current period end, the method will not go to 'Residual' upon closing the period containing the classification date.
A classification for sale event (FASCFS) is generated automatically.

Prior to update 8.0.0:
Deleting this date cancels the classification. This cancellation will be effective at the start of the current period, if the classification date is earlier than the current period start date.
If the classification date is later than or equal to the current period start date, the deletion will be carried out as if the asset had never been classified as held for sale.

Expected sale amount (field EXTSALAMT)

Use this field to specify the sufficient value which is expected for the sale when a sales date is entered in the Classified for sale field. It can only be accessed when the Asset held for sale option is checked.
The amount is updated automatically in the Assets function.

Currency (field ACGCUR)

Family (field FLGACG)

This indicator is linked to the field that follows. It enables the user to force the value of the field when it is activated.

Family (field ACGGRPD)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.
This field is used to specify the Group of the asset or, in the case of a mass processing, all the selected assets. If the group associations are defined for the Asset object, entering the Family code can determine the Accounting code.

The definition screen of the Asset groups, which can be accessed by right-clicking the field, can be used to:
- view the values determined by the associations, for the entered group code,
- access the entry/modification screen of the values of these associations.

Accounting code (field FLGACC)

This indicator is linked to the field that follows. It enables the user to force the value of the field when it is activated.

Accounting code (field ACCCODD)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.
This field is used to specify the accounting code of the asset or, in the case of a mass processing, all the selected assets. It can be entered by hand or, if section associations have been defined for the Assetobject, loaded after entry of the family. The accounting code entered must correspond to a Fixed asset -type code defined in the table of accounting codes. It is used to deduce and load the following fields: CoA nature, CoA accountand, if the IAS/IFRS plan is managed, the fields: IAS/IFRS nature and IAS/IFRS account. If section associations have been defined for the Assetobject, the entry of the Accounting code can determine the value of different sections, including the depreciation methods.

General account (field GACD)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.
This field displays the CoA account, which is the accounting classification of the asset, or all the selected assets, towards the national standards. It is loaded with the CoA fixed asset account, defined at the level of the Accounting code and cannot be modified.

CoA nature (field GACACND)

This field, non modifiable, displays the nature of the CoA account.

In service date (field ITSDATD)

Help shared by the unit and mass processings of accounting allocation change.

In unit processing mode, the "Date put into service" is loaded with the one recorded for the asset.
It can only be modified if the account posting change creates a transfer from an account In process to an account In service.
Changing this date automatically updates the depreciation start date for the depreciated plans according to a method for which the depreciation start date is loaded with the start-up date.
In mass processing mode, the "Date put into service" can be entered if an entry into service is detected (transfer from a "Fixed asset in progress" account to a "Fixed asset in service" account). It automatically loads, in tab "Depreciation plans", the "Depreciation start" date for each of the depreciation plans selected to be processed.

IFRS account (field IASACCD)

This field displays the IAS/IFRS account, i.e. the accounting classification towards the IAS/IFRS national norms. It is loaded with the IAS/IFRS fixed asset account, defined at the level of the Accounting code it cannot be entered.

IFRS nature (field IASACND)

This field displays the nature of the IAS/IFRS account.

Tab Deprec plans

Presentation

This tab contains a table with as many lines as there are depreciation plans managed by the company. It is used to:

View the impact of the accounting allocation change (Family and/or Code) on the depreciation methods of each plan. Each of the elements in the method modified in this way can be identified thanks to its Update flag set to Yes.
Select each of the plans on which the new method will be applied. This selection is carried out by activating the Process indicator. For the selected plans, it is possible to carry out any adjustment necessary on one or several elements of the depreciation method. To that end, the associated Update flag must be set to Yes.
The plans having the Process flag unselected keep the depreciation methods which were applied to them before the accounting allocation change process.
Specify the effective date of the method change. They can be:

- the Period start date
- the FY start date
- the Depreciation start date.

When the allocation change leads to a method change, the process terms linked to the selection of the effective start date are described below.
Define the management terms of the potential variance on the depreciation when a method change comes into effect at the asset depreciation start date, which is earlier than the start date of the current fiscal year.

Note on the first use of assets:When the accounting allocation change corresponds to a first use, the effective date must be the Depreciation start date and the variance recovery must correspond to the Period charge value. This recovery is managed as follows:
- the total of the previous FY E-1 equals 0 (the Forcing flag is set to Yes)
- The charge that should have been applied in E-1 is adjusted in the current period of fiscal year E (the adjustment is added to the charge of this period).

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Grid New deprec methods

Process (field TRTFLG)

Indicator activated by double-click, which enables the user to precise the change of method generated by the modification of the account posting (Group and/or Accounting code) must be applied to the plan.

Plan (field DPRPLND)

The code for the depreciation plan.

Chg effective start (field MTCTIATYP)

Help common to the single and mass processes for the account posting change.
This field is used to select the date at which the change will be effective.
If the acount posting change implies changing the depreciation mode, the available selections in a unitary process depend on the depreciation start date of the asset:

If the depreciation start date is before the start of the current financial year, the mode change can be effective on the Depreciation start date, Financial year start date or Period start date.
If the depreciation start date is after or equal to the start of the current financial year, and before the start of the current period, the mode change can be effective on the Depreciation start date, or Period start date.
If the depreciation start date is after or equal to the start of the current period, the mode change is automatically and necessarily effective on the Depreciation start date.

Specificities: when it corresponds to a first use, the account posting change is necessarily effective on the Depreciation start date.

In a mass process, the default effective date set up in this tab can be customized in the Control window for each asset, according to its situation.

For more details and examples on the process terms related to the effective date selection for an account posting change, see thefunction documentation.

Rec. meth chge var (field MTCDEVADJ)

Help common to the single and mass processes for the account posting change.
This field is used to indicate how the difference will be managed on the depreciation total following an account posting change causing the change of depreciation mode.
This field can be entered if the depreciation start date is before the financial start date of the current plan, and if the effective date for the mode change is equal to the depreciation start date.
To know more about the management terms for this variance, see the documentation related to the Account posting change or Account posting change - Mass process functions.
Specificities: If the depreciation mode is IT (Ordinario / Anticipato) and the Exceptional depreciation rate is other than 0, the variance in the depreciation total cannot be processed by the Financial year exceptional charge or Period exceptional charge recovery option.

Update-> (field STRFLG)

It is used to enter the depreciation start date for the asset, or in the case of a mass process for the group of selected assets. It is mandatory that this date is greater than or equal to that of the start of the current fiscal year for the context.
In the case when the change of account posting urges the asset first use, this date is automatically revised using the depreciation start date set up for the depreciation method used.
In mass processing mode, this date is automatically loaded with the "Date put into service" entered in tab "Parameters".
Once a closing has been carried out, this date can no longer be modified.

Current mode (field DPMO)

Help common to the single and mass processes for the account posting change.
This field displays the depreciation mode, potentially defined when applying the field association following an account posting change. Otherwise, the field is left blank.
It can be entered or modified only if the Process indicator has been activated for the plan. This mode should be authorised for the related company, plan and country.

The choice of the mode is submitted to the following restrictions:

On a French company Fiscal plan, the method can only be DF - French decreasing, or LP French straight line.
The CA - Caducity / Gross value or RA - Caducity / Net value modes can only be used on a plan of the Accounting and fiscal context other than the Subsidy plan and only if the asset holding type is In concession. If the management mode of the concession is Transmitted by renewal, the depreciation method of the plan designated to manage the caducity must be:
- SA, when it comes to renewing assets.
TheOPE - Operation Units mode can only be used on a plan belonging to the context retained for the OPE management and only if the asset has been attached to a Production workbench.

The modification of the amortization mode can lead to the modification of the Depreciation start date of the plan and its loading, according to the setup carried out at the level of the Depreciation method, either with the First use date, or with the Purchase date, or with the Posting date.

Potential effective dates and processing terms

The table below presents the adjustment or processing terms applied to each asset, according to the effective date of the method change.

1/ The depreciation start date is less than the start date of the current FY fiscal year.

Effective date	Processing Terms
Depreciation start date	The depreciation total on FY-1 end is recalculated. The variance between the new and the former total can be processed, as the user wishes, according to one of the following modalities: - In carry-forward See Example 1. - Fiscal year exceptional charge. See Example 2. - Period exceptional charge. See Example 3. - Integrated to the fiscal year charge. See Example 4. - Integrated to the period charge. See Example 5.
Current F Fiscal year start date	The depreciation total on FY-1 end is not recalculated. The F fiscal year charge will be recalculated using the new method, which is necessarily based on a residual method applied to the depreciation net value at the start of the F fiscal year. The charge of the P period will contain the regulation of the charges of the closed periods. See Example 6.
Start date of current period P	The depreciation total on FY-1 end is not recalculated. The depreciation total of the closed periods of the current fiscal year is not recalculated. The "residual" F fiscal year charge [P period start - F fiscal year end] will be calculated using the new method, which is necessarily based on a residual method applied to the depreciation net value at the start of the P period. This charge of the "residual" fiscal year will be distributed on the P period and the following of the F fiscal year. The charge of the F Fiscal year will be equal to the total: charges of closed periods before method change + charge of "residual" fiscal year. See Example 7.

2/ The depreciation start date is greater than or equal to the start date of the current FY and less than the start date of the current period P.

Effective date	Processing Terms
Depreciation start date	The charge of the F fiscal year will be recalculated using the new method. The charge of the P period will contain the regulation of the charges of the closed periods. See Example 8.
Start date of current period P	The depreciation total of the closed periods of the current fiscal year is not recalculated. The depreciation charge of the "residual" fiscal year [P period start - F Fiscal year end] will be calculated using the new method, mandatorily based on a residual method. This charge of the "residual" fiscal year will be distributed on the P period and the following of the F fiscal year. The charge of the F Fiscal year will be equal to the total: charges of closed periods before method change + charge of "residual" fiscal year. See Example 9.

3/ The depreciation start date is greater than or equal to the start date of the current period P.

Effective date	Processing Terms
Depreciation start date	The charge of period P (or the depreciation start period) will be recalculated based on the new depreciation method.

A list of examples is provided below, illustrating the implementations and processing terms available.

Effective date and consecutive method changes:

During an ongoing fiscal year, multiple depreciation method changes can be carried out. The implementation of a method change cannot be prior to the previous change.
Example
Let us consider a fiscal year containing 4 periods: P1, P2, P3 and P4.

During P2, a change of method is made to be effective at Period start.
During P3, only a change of method to be effective at Period start will be possible.
During P1, a change of method is made to be effective at Fiscal year start.
During P3, a change of method to be effective at Fiscal year start or a change of method to be effective at Period start will be possible.

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be posted as Carry-forward at the start of F financial year.
The new total at the end of F-1 (2,505.05) cancels and replaces the previous one (3,005.46), even though the forcing flag is set to Yes for this total.

(2) The charge of the fiscal year is recalculated using the new duration, the charge of the P period contains the depreciation total variance of the closed periods of the F fiscal year:
(10,000.00 x 16,67 %) = 1,667.00 x (181 days / 365 days) = 826.65 - 493.15 = 333.50

(3) At the closing of 2006 fiscal year, the total at the end of the year is calculated as follows:
New total at the end of 2005 re-caculated after the change of method + Charge of 2006
Let us consider: 2,505.05 / 1,667.00 = 4,172.05

(1) The variance between the new total on FY-1 and the previous one: 2,505.05 - 3,005.46 = -500.41 must be integrated to the charge of the fiscal year (1,667.00 - 500.41 = 1,169.59) and posted in the charge of the P period.
Let us consider [1,667.00 x (181 / 365) - 493.15] + (-500.41) = -166.91

(2) The charge of each following period does not contain any variance on the total at the end of F-1. The calculation is as follows:
1,667.00 x (273 / 365) - 326.24 + (500.41 ) = 420.17 --> total at the end of 3rd period = 746.41
1,667.00 c (365 / 365) - 746.41 + (500.41 ) = 420.18 --> total at the end of 4th period = 1,166.59

The duration change is performed in the current period [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]; the charge of this period is equal to: Charge of fiscal year x (number of days until 30/06/2006 / number of days in 2006) - Depreciation total of P-1.
Let us consider: [1,554.82 x (181 / 365)] - 493.15 = 277.87

Depreciation start date less than Current fiscal year FY

01/01/11 - 31/12/11		10,000.00

(1) The charge of the method change period is calculated as follows:
(10,000 - 3,005.46 - 493.15 ) x (275 days / 1,552 days) x (91 days / 275 days) = 381.20
1,552 days = depreciation residual duration, corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2010]
275 days = residual duration in the fiscal year, equal to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/12/2006]
91 days = period duration [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]

(2) The new charge of 2006 fiscal year equals to:
493.15 + [(10,000 - 3,005.46) x (275 days / 1,552 days)] = 1,645.14

Depreciation start date greater than or equal to the current FY fiscal year start and less than the current period P start

(1) The charge of the fiscal year is recalculated using the new duration. The charge of the P period contains the depreciation total variance of the closed periods of the F fiscal year:
2,287.67 X (150 days / 334 days) = 1,027.40 - 323.29 = 704.11

Depreciation start date greater than or equal to the current FY fiscal year start and less than the current period P start

01/01/11 - 31/12/11		10,000.00

(1) The charge of the method change period is calculated as follows:
(10,000 - 323.29 ) x (275 days / 1,402 days) x (91 days / 275 days) = 628.09
1,402 days = depreciation residual duration, corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/10/2006]
275 days = residual duration in the fiscal year corresponding to the period [01/04/2006 - 31/12/2006]
91 days = period duration [01/04/2006 - 30/06/2006]

(2) The new charge of 2006 fiscal year equals to:
323.29 + [ (10,000 - 323.29 ) x (275 days / 1,402 days)] = 2,221.36

Tab Extended selection

Presentation

This tab is used to enter the asset selection criteria.

It contains five lines, each of them used to enter a criterion, with each criterion being linked to the next one by one of the following logical operators: And, Or.

The process for selection criteria entry is as follows:

1/ Enter, or select from the list obtained by a right click in the field in the asset table FXDASSETS which contains the information to which the selection is applied.

2/ Then select the operator: Any, Equal, Different, Greater than or equal, Less than, Less than or equal, Like.
The Like operator is valid only for numeric fields. It allows the use wild cards.

3/ Enter a value. The list of possible values for the chosen field can be obtained with a right click when these values are contained in a local menu or in a table (miscellaneous table, common table, accounting table, etc.).

The user can also:

- enter the criteria in the form of an expression; the formulas of this type can be entered by right-clicking the fields in the asset table FXDASSETS,

- enter a selection formula by calling the formula editor.

Reminder: The selection options are the same as those used in the standard Advanced selection function. For more information, see the documentation on the application object ergonomics.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

Block number 2

field FLD1

Indicate a field from the table.

field DES1

Libellé du champ.

field OPE1

Indicate the comparison operation:

The "indifferent" operator is used to obtain all records of an object.
The '* ?' operator is used to define wildcards.

field VAL1

Indicate the comparison value (without quotation marks for the alphanumeric fields).

field PAR1

field ANDOR2

Indicate the link between criteria lines.

Example :

If Expr1 and Expr2 or Expr3 (Expr = expression) are entered we would have :

(Expr1 & (Expr2 | (Expr3)))

Block number 3

Expression (field EXP1)

Indicate if necessary an expression to complete the search.

The criterion is added to the previous criteria by the link AND.

The expression cannot contain fields from a table other than the principal table for the object. These can be indexed.

field PAREXP

Si cette case est cochée, l'expression est définie comme valeur par défaut modifiable.

Batch task

This function can be run in batch mode. The standard task FASTRFC is provided for that purpose.

Specific Actions

This button leads to the display of a control window containing two tables:

The first table contains the list of selected assets and presents for each of the assets their new accounting allocations where no error has been detected. The potential lines with errors are identified by color display.
This list can be updated by deleting the lines corresponding to the assets to be excluded from the process.
The second table contains the depreciation plans for the asset highlighted by the cursor in the first table and for which a depreciation method change has been carried out.

It is used to:

- Identify, by the color display, any lines with errors along with their corresponding error messages. An asset with an error is not updated with the new parameters; it is displayed with the parameters of the original method.

- Modify/correct, if necessary, one or several method parameters. After correction, the line for the asset that is now free from errors, is no longer displayed in a specific color,

Option accessible by right click on the Rate field.
If the rate is entered by the user, the right click option To be recalculated by Sage X3 becomes available. By activating it, it is possible to cancel the entry and to reset the field to zero.
The rate will be automatically loaded by Sage X3 during the next calculation.

Any modification of one or more depreciation parameters carried out on an asset, must be validated by the button. To cancel the modifications under way on the asset, click .
Once the manual adjustments are completed, click the button to close the control window; the system displays again the entry window for parameters, which enables the user either to validate the mass update by clicking , or to abort the update by clicking the button.
