This function is used to save and list all the concession contracts managed by the company, to which assets can be assigned. It can be accessed only if CCN - Concessions activity code is active.

Reminder: two concession management methods are available in the application. The choice of the method used is specified in the setup of the Contexts: 

  • Method: 1st asset of the concession

According to this management method, the fixed asset identified as the 1st asset of the concession is the one carrying the amortization expense. The renewal of this asset is not managed; the amortization expense for this asset applies up to the end of the concession: thus no provision calculation for renewal is performed.

  • Method: Renewal

According to this management method, the particularity of the assets in concession is that they can carry a renewal obligation: if their depreciation end is noted on the industrial plan before the end of the concession, these assets must be renewed by the Grantee. The amortization expense is carried by the 1st asset of the concession and then by each of the assets which renew it.  It is therefore necessary to evaluate their replacement value each year in order to perform provisions for their renewal.
At the end of the concession, these assets are transmitted to the licensor for free or in exchange for an indemnity.

Managing concessions with the Renewal method requires the proper setup at Accounting and Fiscal level, notably with entry of the Industrial plan and Amortization expense plan.

SEEINFO The application does not manage assets renewed by the grantee and not transmitted to the licensor at the end of the concession.

Tab Other info

This tab is specific to free fields. The number of managed free fields, their titles, the miscellaneous tables assigned to the control of the Code-type free fields and the currency for each Amount-type free field, depend on the setup carried out at Free field properties level.
These free fields can be used depending on the management requirements, to store unplanned data in the Main tab.

This tab also displays information useful to contract tracking: origin of the creation (transaction entry, import, etc.), code of the user at the origin of the creation followed by the creation date, and finally the code of the user who carried out the last modification followed by the date of this modification.

A button can be used to display a window presenting the journal of the events generated by the contract.
