eAM Work Order Capitalization Accounting
Accounting
entries during capitalizing eAM cost to Fixed Asset
The accounting
reconciliation between maintenance expenses from a work order and
capitalization of work order costs is largely a manual effort
However the same can be
automated to some extent if the business process can accommodate a single asset
clearing account for all capitalization works initiated from a single EAM org.
To do this,
1. Create a
separate accounting class which will
referenced on capitalization work orders. This accounting class will
have all its variance accounts set as the Asset Clearing account.
2. Set the eAM
parameters to have the offset account as the Asset clearing account.
3. As a procedure,
ensure that work orders are closed (i.e. status of work order is changed to
'Closed') before capitalization is initiated. This will ensure that value is
transferred from valuation accounts to variance accounts
Now the accounting
entries would be as follows :
Work Order transactions
Dr:
EAM Valuation accounts
Cr:
Mtl Valuation / Resource absorption
Work Order Close
Dr:
Variance account = Asset Clearing account
Cr:
EAM Valuation accounts
Post Mass additions
Dr:
Asset Cost account
Cr:
Asset Clearing account = Offset A/c = Variance account
As can be seen from
above this approach can be adopted when there is a single asset clearing
account which can be referenced as the Offset a/c in EAM parameters and as the
variance accounts in the accounting class. Unfortunately there are no
other events apart from the above, which can trigger accounting entries
