Cost Accounting Interaction

Beyond just recording grants and projects used in the funding or construction of a fixed asset, there is a larger interaction with the Cost Accounting Area. The system term is Fixed Asset Program Allocation, but the feature is used to capture costs to construct an asset or prepare and asset for disposal/sale. Certain COA reference pages have an indication if a given code is eligible for this type of spending. All cash expenditures with such a code are captured and accumulated for review. When approved the costs are then automatically added to the value of a Fixed Asset and Component Number. When the event is completed, the Fixed Asset Type is then changed automatically.
