This check box is selected by default and runs the closing in simulation mode. In this case, controls and the process are carried out but there are no updates recorded in the database.

Clear this check box to run in actual mode. In this case, you cannot reverse the closing and updates are recorded in the database. If you are using intermediate commits, it is recommended that the NIVTRACE – Log file level parameter (AAS chapter, MIS group) value is 0.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Help shared by the unit and mass processes of accounting allocation change.
The classification date can only be specified when the Asset held for sale check box is selected.
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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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 - Amortization expense / Gross value or RA - Amortization expense / 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 amortization expense must be:
  - SA, when it comes to renewing assets.
• The OPE - 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.
