The Create Asset from Project process converts a completed project into a Fixed Asset by generating and completing an Asset Addition document. It is used once construction, fit-out, or equipment installation work is finished and ready for capitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It directly impacts fixed asset accounting, depreciation schedules, and project closure, ensuring capital costs move from the Project ledger into the Asset register for reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process Flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Project field is mandatory before the process can run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Product field is mandatory and must represent the asset being created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Product must belong to a Product Category linked to an Asset Group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Transaction Date is used as both Document Date and Accounting Date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Asset Addition is created and completed automatically in one run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The source Project is closed automatically once the asset is created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Usable Life Years is optional and overrides the Asset Group default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The selected Project must have its Project Balance fully posted, as the system uses this balance to determine the created asset’s value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Project window configured with actual project costs recorded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Asset Product created and linked to a Product Category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Product Category linked to a valid Asset Group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Asset Group configured with depreciation type and useful life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fixed Asset accounting (Asset Accounting) configured for the Organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Transaction Date period open in the Calendar\/Period Control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Select the Completed Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Click the Project field, search for the closed project (for example, a store renovation), and select it. Confirm all project costs are posted before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Important: <\/strong>The system uses the balance amount to determine the value of the asset that gets created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Select the Asset Product<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Select the asset product, such as Store Fixtures or Refrigeration Unit. Verify the product’s category has an Asset Group before running the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Project<\/td>Store 12 Renovation<\/td>Source project whose cost is capitalized<\/td><\/tr>
      Product<\/td>Store Fixtures – Asset<\/td>Defines the Fixed Asset type created<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Set the Transaction Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Enter the date the asset goes into service, typically the project completion date. This date affects when depreciation begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Enter Usable Life Years (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Only populate this if the asset’s actual useful life differs from the Asset Group default, such as leasehold improvements with a shorter lease term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Transaction Date<\/td>07\/15\/2026<\/td>Sets Document Date, Accounting Date, and in-service date<\/td><\/tr>
      Usable Life – Years<\/td>5<\/td>Overrides Asset Group default depreciation years<\/td><\/tr>
      Run as Job<\/td>Unchecked<\/td>Runs the process immediately in the foreground<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 5: Run the Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Click OK. The system validates the Project and Product, verifies the Asset Group, then creates and completes the Asset Addition automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 6: Review the Created Asset Addition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      After successful completion, the process log links directly to the new Asset Addition for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Common Issues and Resolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Issue<\/strong><\/td>Cause<\/strong><\/td>Resolution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Missing Mandatory Field Value error<\/td>Project or Product left blank<\/td>Select both Project and Product before clicking OK<\/td><\/tr>
      “Product is not asset type” error<\/td>Product’s category has no Asset Group<\/td>Link the Product Category to a valid Asset Group<\/td><\/tr>
      Wrong depreciation years applied<\/td>Usable Life Years left blank unintentionally<\/td>Enter the correct override value if it differs from Asset Group default<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Configure Asset Group and depreciation settings in Asset Setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Review the Asset Addition window for accounting entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Set up the Depreciation Workfile for the new Fixed Asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Verify Fixed Asset appears correctly in Asset reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
