This window is used to remove one or several capitalized expenses, other than the main expense, linked to the fixed asset.

This window is called from the Fixed assets management function via the [Detach] button.

It can be accessed in Visualization mode with an asset:

- already having several linked expenses, (when the asset is linked to only one expense, this action is not authorized as the detachment of the main expense is banned)

- whose depreciation start date for each plan is superior or equal to the fiscal year start date of their context even if periodic closings have been carried out for this fiscal year.

At the end of the process, each removed expense will be classified once again among the capitalized expenses and assigned to the creation of a new asset or the update of an existing fixed asset.

Screen management

This screen is composed of a header displaying, as a reminder, the asset identification as well as a tab used to select the expenses to be detached.

Header

The header displays the reference and the fixed asset description which the action is called for. This information cannot be modified.

Tab Setup definition

This tab is composed of a grid displaying the list of expenses linked to the fixed asset, the main expense is displayed in blue characters on the first line.

In this list, the Detach indicator must be activated on each line corresponding to an expense to withdraw, then the user must validate by clicking on the [OK] button, to close the window and get back to the screen Assets in modification. The taking into account of the detachment only takes place after saving the fixed asset.

Processing description

Impact on the fixed asset

  • The General Chart of Account (GCoA) Ex-tax receipt value for the fixed asset is decreased by the total amount of the selected expenses whose nature in the GCoA plan is not Charge. The CoA VAT amounts are recalculated.
     
  • The IAS/IFRS Ex-tax receipt value for the fixed asset is decreased by the total amount of the selected expenses whose nature in the IAS/IFRS plan is not Charge. The IAS/IFRS VAT amounts are recalculated.
     
  • The depreciation bases are modified. The update is taken into account from the current fiscal year start date (or the depreciation start date if it is later). The current fiscal year expense as well as the next ones are recalculated based on the new depreciation basis. If closed periods exist for the current fiscal year, the expense of the current period contains the adjustment due to the revision of the fiscal year expense.
    This revision does not induce any change of depreciation method.

Impact on each detached expense

  • The expense is marked as being not capitalized. On the Expenses screen, the information contained in the Asset block are automatically modified: the Asset link indicator is is deactivated and the reference of the asset is erased.
     
  • The account postings of the expense take back their original values.
     
  • Cancellation events for accounting allocations are created if accounting allocations events had been generated upon capitalization.
     
    (The inquiry of events is possible in the Events Journal window which can be accessed from the Other info tab). Other info of the management function of Expenses).

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

This expense cannot be detached: the balance sheet value was modified upon creation of the asset.

The balance sheet value of the asset should correspond to the total of capitalized expenses values. However, during the asset creation, its balance sheet value has been changed. It is thus no longer possible to detach capitalized expenses upon creating the asset because its depreciation base could no longer be adjusted accordingly. The only solution available to detach expenses would be to delete the asset.
