This function displays the situation of each company context in relation to the calculation and the accounting interface and concessions when they are managed. It also indicates if the context is eligible for provisional flows generation and/or closure.

If you are using intermediate commits to close large volumes of assets, the last column in the grid displays the last closed asset if there is an error in the process.

Click the looking glass on a line to view the Detailed status screen that displays the reasons why a context is not eligible for a provisional flow generation or for closing. You can review all the criteria that can create blocking points. This screen is also available from the following functions:

SEEINFO The maximum number of authorized assets per license is also displayed in this function, as well as the total number of assets managed in the solution, and the number of assets managed in the folder.
The number of assets managed in the company is displayed on the Detailed status screen.

When there is an error related to an asset during a closing using intermediate commits, this field displays the last successfully closed asset. In addition, the line is highlighted in amber.

If an error occurs after all assets have been closed, this field displays the following message: "Error in closing." This could mean there is an error not related to a specific asset.

When you relaunch the process in actual mode, the field is empty and the process resumes with the next asset in the commit.

Block number 2

Number of assets granted by the license (field FASMAX)

This field, that cannot be modified, displays the maximum number of authorized assets per license in the solution.

Number of assets managed in solution (field FASCNT)

This field, that cannot be modified, displays the total number of assets managed in the solution, except the assets issued by intra-group sale.
This counter is updated:
- at the moment of the first login of the day to one of the solution folders,
- when launching the company mass calculation,
- when launching the closure processing.
It is not updated upon creation of the asset, which explains the discrepancy between the displayed value and the reality of the base.
When the number of managed assets reaches the maximum authorized, a warning message is displayed. When this value is over 5% of the maximum number, the closure and calculation processes are automatically blocked.

SEEINFO The assets with the same reference in several folders are only counted once to enable the folders duplication for testing purposes without any impact on the license.
Number of assets managed in folder (field FASDOS)

This field, that cannot be modified, displays the total number of assets managed in the folder, except the assets issued by intra-group sale.
This counter is updated:
- on the first daily connection to the solution folders,
- when launching the company mass calculation,
- when launching the closure process.
It is not updated upon creation of the asset, which explains the discrepancy between the displayed value and the reality of the base.

Overview

This screen displays a list of the contexts defined for each managed company.
 
The background color of a context field gives a quick overview of whether the context is eligible for provisional flows generation and closing (these color codes are defined by Presentation styles):
 - Green: The flows can be generated (or are not managed in the plans of the context) and the closing can be requested.
 - Yellow: The flows can be generated and the closing cannot be requested, or vice versa. This color can also indicate that the context data contain an error or inconsistency blocking the closing and posting. The reason for this error is specified in the header of the Detailed status screen.

- Amber: This indicates an error when using intermediate commits to close large volumes of assets.
 
For each context, the start and end dates of the current period are shown, and the following items are displayed:

1/ Criteria that can constitute situations blocking the flows generation and the closing:

  • The potential presence of inactive assets:
     
    SAISTACPY_03.jpg : there is no inactive asset.
    SAISTACPY_02.jpg : there is at least one inactive asset. 
     
  • The status of the current period with respect to the calculation 
     
    SAISTACPY_03.jpg :  all the plans of the context and, if applicable, all provisions for renewal are calculated.
    SAISTACPY_02.jpg : there is at least one asset on a plan which needs a calculation or for which the provisions need to be calculated.
     
  • The posting situation of the current period according to the closing:
     
    SAISTACPY_03.jpg : the context is posted
    SAISTACPY_02.jpg : the context is postedSAISTACPY_02.jpg: depending on the setup (Simulation/Definitive posting) and on the situation (period/fiscal year closure), there is at least one depreciation charge and/or one variance between plans and/or a non-posted event and/or non-posted provisions(see the eligibility conditions of a context with a period or fiscal year closure below).
     
  • The situation for assets in concession and concession contracts on the current period in regard to the closing:
     
    SAISTACPY_03.jpg : the situation is correct
    SAISTACPY_04.jpg : the details of this situation is given at the level of the Miscellaneous tab of the detailed status.
    SAISTACPY_02.jpg : the situation in regard to the concessions does not authorize closing: : the details of this situation is given at the level of the Miscellaneous tab of the detailed status.

2/ The possibility to generate provisional flows:

  • The field is colored green and displays the value 'Yes': provisional flows generation can be requested for the context. 
     
  • The field is colored white and displays the value 'No': the flows generation processing cannot be carried out (because of one or several criteria indicated above that can trigger a blocking situation).
     
  • The field is colored white and displays no value: the context manages no flow.
     
    Reminder of the eligibility conditions of a context for provisional flows generation:
     
    - At least one plan manages flows
    - All plans managing flows have been calculated.

3/ The possibility to perform a closing:

  • The field is colored green and displays the value 'Yes': the closing can be requested for the context.
  • The field is colored white and displays the value 'No': the closing processing cannot be carried out (because of one or several criteria indicated above that can trigger a blocking situation).

    Eligibility to period closing:
     
    - The company contains no Inactive asset.
    - All the assets have been calculated.

SEEINFO 

Detailed status

You can access this screen from the button on a line in the grid. For the company, you can view all the criteria that can lead to situations where the flow generation and/or the closing are blocked.

The color code for each criteria is used to quickly visualize the blocking points:

- Red: blocking

- Yellow: non blocking warning

- Amber: error during intermediate commits closing process

- Green: no blocking

The criteria are distributed on three tabs:

1/ Calculation section: Displays the modification list of a setup item having an impact on the calculation of the depreciations and requiring the modification of the status of the concerned assets (DEPSTA field) to change it from 'Calculated' to 'For calculation'.

In this case, when the number of the assets concerned is superior to the value defined in the parameter DIRUPDTSD - Direct update threshold, the modification of the asset status is not properly carried out upon setup modification. It is stored in the context and pending; it will be applied upon submitting the calculation (instead of being processed via the Pending modifications process). The number of assets concerned is then displayed.

The modification type can be:

- ADP: modification of a parameter

- ADI: modification of a miscellaneous table

- DPM: modification of a depreciation mode

- CNX: modification of a context (the indication of the modified parameter is given in the next field. If the value of this parameter is: 'DESYNC', the modification corresponds to a de-synchronization of the context with regards to the fiscal year/period breakdown performed in the financials module. This control is performed only if the value of the parameter ACCPERCTL - Accounting period control is: Yes. In this case, it is necessary to launch the  Context synchronization processing.

Indicates the number of assets to be recalculated on each context plan.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.

Note: The detailed window of the fiscal year or period depreciation plan of a given asset displays its situation with regards to the calculation.

Indicates, when concessions for renewal are managed, the number of provisions for renewal that have not been calculated.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.

2/ Posting section: Used as a reminder, in the header, of the period status:

- Period closing. In that case, a green light is used to check if the period is in actual posting (compulsory condition in the period losing realization).


Or


- FY closing (and period closing - last period). In this case, two lights are used to check if all periods are in actual posting and if all charges and/or variances between plans are saved on the following fiscal year, for the assets issued in the current fiscal year, have been reversed (essential condition to make the fiscal year closure).

Displays the list of events that have not been posted on the fiscal year yet.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.


Present for each concerned plan, when the posting type is Actual:

- the number of non posted charges in the period,

- the number of non posted charges in all the periods of the fiscal year when it is the fiscal year last period, i.e. a fiscal year closing.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.


Displays, for each associated plan, the number of variances between non-posted plans on the period or the FY. This information is subject to the  LNK – Variances between plans activity code.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.



Note: The list of the 'Posted' amounts and of those that remain 'To be posted' for a given asset is displayed in the Posting section of the detailed window of the  period depreciation plan.

Indicates, when concessions for renewal are managed, the number of provisions for renewal that have not been posted.

Click on Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file presenting the list of the assets concerned.

3/ Miscellaneous section: Displays the list of pending Intra-group sales operations for the company. If concessions are managed, the following items are displayed:

- The number of renewing assets that have not been part of the renewal operation,

- The number of assets in one or several renewal operations that have not be validated,

- The number of expired contracts in the FY and number of contracts for which no end has been entered.

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file with either the list of assets concerned or the list of contracts concerned, depending on the case.


Displays a list of inactive assets (table limited to 999 lines).

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file also presenting the complete list of assets concerned.

Displays a list of assets classified for sale (table limited to 999 lines).

Select Detail from the Actions icon to display a log file also presenting the complete list of assets concerned, with the classification date.

If there is an error or inconsistency in the context data (the context field in the main window has a yellow background), the reason for the error is displayed in the header.
