Additional G/L accounts for Asset Accounting
Introduction:
This post describes to determine the “Additional G/L Accounts for Asset Accounting” Integration with General Ledger, other than AO90 Account Determination.
Integration with general ledger often using the AO90 configuration to determine the G/L Accounts to post the Asset Transactions in Asset Accounting, we use to assign balance sheet accounts, special reserve accounts, and the depreciation accounts.
If we want to use the Additional G/L accounts for Asset Accounting other than AO90 configuration settings, then please follow below step by step configuration guide and test scenario.
Scenario: Post the accounting entry with two different G/L Accounts for Asset Retirement by Scrapping
Example:
- Retirement with Scarping – Normal Configuration pick the G/L Account from AO90 Account determination (Loss made on Asset retirement without revenue)
- Retirement for Physical Verification deficit (New G/L Account from OBYD Configuration)
Case 2 scenario Business perform the Asset Physical verification 6 months or 1 year for each location, if there is any assets or assets qty is lost as per the records then need to retire the assets with different G/L account to identify the total lost amount.
