This window, called when deleting an asset, is used to:

  • view and intervene on the accounting impact of the asset deletion processing at the depreciation level as well as the variances between linked plans (when their posting is managed),
  • cancel or not the renewal of renewing assets (in concession),
  • manage expenses linked to the deleted asset.

Tab Depreciations

This tab displays the following information for the depreciation plan selected in the scroll down list:

  • A recap of the amounts posted on the current FY and, if applicable, on the following FY.  
     
  • The list of events for FASCNL charge cancellations which will be generated at the end of the process giving the user the possibility to:
     
    - include, on the 1st event of the current FY, the totals related to previous fiscal years, 
     
    - select the event containing the depreciation basis (totals will then be contained in this event as well),
     
    - modify the posting date of these events,
     
    - modify the analytical allocations in order to choose allocations related to the deletion for instance.
     
    The generation rule of these events is presented hereafter.

SEEINFO A cancellation event is generated even if no amount is posted. This event is dedicated to the depreciation basis and the potential depreciation totals prior to the fiscal year, for which a reversal could be required.

Tab Variances between plans

This tab is only displayed if the LNK - Variances between plans activity code is active.

It displays the following information for the depreciation plan selected in the scroll down list:

  • A recap of the variances between plans posted on the current FY and, if applicable, on the following FY.  
     
  • The list of events for FASLNKCNL variances cancellations which will be generated at the end of the process giving the possibility to:
     
    - include, on the 1st event of the current FY, the totals related to previous fiscal years, 
     
    - modify the posting date of these events.

The generation rule of these events is presented hereafter.

Tab Provisions for renewal

This tab displays:

  • A recap of the amounts posted on the current FY and, if applicable, on the following FY. 
     
  • The list of events for FASCCNCNL provision cancellations for renewal which will be generated at the end of the process giving the possibility to:
     
    - include, on the 1st event of the current FY, the totals related to previous fiscal years, 
     
    - modify the posting date of these events.

The generation rule of these events is presented hereafter.

When the user wants to delete a concession asset (supplied by the grantee) which has been part of a renewal operation, as renewing asset, after the start date of the current FY, this tab displays the renewed assets and is used to request for the cancellation of the renewal.

Tab Linked expenses

This tab displays, if applicable, the list of expenses assigned to the asset. The user can choose, for each expense, if it should be still assigned or deleted.

SEEINFO It is forbidden to delete an asset if at least one expense is locked by another user (symbolized by the following FASCNL_01.jpg  at the beginning of the line).

Generation rule for FASCNL, FASLNKCNL and FASCCNCNL events.

Cancellation events:
- FASCNL: expense cancellation event
- FASLNKCNL: plan variance cancellation event
- FASCCNCNL: provision for renewal cancellation event
are managed according to the following rule:

Number of events generated

  • When the asset has not been subjected to an analytical transfer, 1 cancellation event is generated.
     
  • When an asset has had at least one analytical transfer, several cancellation events are generated (generation of N+1 events for N transfers carried out),

They can be inquired at the level of the Accounting entries inquiry.

Effective and posting dates of events

  • The generated events have, by default, the same posting and effective date.
     
  • When an event aggregates amounts from several periods, the effective and posting dates correspond to the end date of the last period.
     
  • When no amount is posted (blank table), a unique event is generated upon cancellation, on the current period. Analytical allocations contained in this event are the ones in effect for this period (taking into account potential analytical transfers occurring outside the current period).   
     

SEEINFO The posting date can be modified by the user, after checking the box Modification of the posting date.
 In this case, no validity check is performed to check the entered date.

Depreciation basis

Upon cancelling the event, the depreciation basis of the current period is loaded by default for the first cancellation event to create (regardless of a depreciation expense).
When multiple cancellation events are created, another event can be chosen. This choice is performed by right-clicking Assign balance sheet valueon the selected event line.

Reversal of previous totals

At the time of the asset cancellation (FY start), depreciation expense or provisions for renewal totals can be different from zero. In this case, it could be required to reverse the totals in accounting, via the posting of cancellation events, rather than GL creation.

It is thus possible for the user to choose to load these totals, which would then be linked by default to the first cancellation event of the current fiscal year. When several cancellation events are available, the totals are linked to the same event as the one the user chose to link to the depreciation basis.

SEEINFO The possible posting of these totals will then be performed according to the setup of the entry type and automatic journal at use.

Analytical allocations

The modification of these analytical allocations of the asset is authorized so as to make it possible, for instance, to assign allocations related to the deleted assets.
The modification is carried out in the displayed window by right-clicking Analytical allocations in the grid of cancellation events of depreciation expenses, after activating the checkbox Analytical allocation modification.

Description of the deletion process

Besides the generation of cancellation events, the delete of the asset has the following impact:

  • the deletion of the linked events.
  • depending on the chosen option, the releasing of the expenses attached to the asset in the case where this asset has been created from one or more expenses.
  • the generation of a log file with information useful for:
     
    - identify the asset removed,
    - identify the user who originated the deletion,
    - provide the list of generated events so as to locate them.

Concession management:
 When there is a concession asset for which provisions have been saved, deleting the asset will delete its provisions for renewal as well.

When there is a renewing asset that has been part of renewing operation in Sage X3 Fixed Assets after the current FY start date, deleting the asset will have the following impact:

If the cancellation of the renewal has been requested:

  • cancel the renewal,
  • delete the renewal operation,
  • cancel the issue of renewed assets.

If the cancellation of the renewal has not been requested:

  • no cancellation of the issue of renewed assets.

Specific Buttons

Cancel

This button is used to abort the delete of an asset.

OK

This button is used to validate the delete of an asset.
It is grayed out and cannot be accessed when the asset is assigned to an expense which is locked by another user.

Error messages

The only error messages are the generic ones.
