The Fixed Asset Acquisition Disposition (FADM) reference page defines
the valid methods of acquisition and disposal available to the Fixed Asset
Acquisition and Disposal transactions. Use of this descriptive feature
is required.
The fields that are not self-explanatory
are listed below:
Field Name
Description
Acquisition
Disposition
Each
record must be defined as either an acquisition or a disposition
record. Acquisition records are just for reporting purposes,
but disposition records are used to determine postings (see
below).
Method
Each
acquisition and disposition method is defined by a unique
identifier within the complete set of both acquisition and
disposition methods, not just within one of the two classifications.
Gain Loss Posting
Acquisition
records must have the Not
Selected value for this indication because it applies
only to dispositions.
For dispositions, the choice of Expense will invoke the
Gain/Loss Expense posting pair (D) and trigger the inference
of the Gain/Loss Object from Special Accounts. The choice
of Revenue will invoke
the Gain/Loss Revenue posting pair (E) and trigger the inference
of the Gain/Loss Revenue Source from Special Accounts.
Having a disposal method of both types
is not required.
