Cost Adjustments

You can adjust expenditure items whose costs are sent to Oracle Assets, and collect new expenditure items for an asset in Oracle Projects after you capitalize and send the summarized asset lines to Oracle Assets. You process these cost adjustments in Oracle Projects and send them to Oracle Assets as adjusting asset lines.

Your cost adjustments can be either positive or negative. For example, you receive a credit memo from a supplier for a capitalized asset you sent and posted to Oracle Assets. When you send this credit memo to Oracle Projects, you create new negative asset lines, which you can send to Oracle Assets as a negative cost adjustment to the original asset.

Oracle Projects includes the information you enter for the asset on the adjusting asset line you send to Oracle Assets. Thus, if you specify to Amortize Adjustments to the asset in Oracle Projects, Oracle Assets amortizes any catchup depreciation amount for the adjustment over the remaining life of the asset. Otherwise, it expenses the catchup depreciation for the adjustment in the current period.

Note: You cannot send cost adjustments to Oracle Assets until you have posted the original mass addition line (imported CIP asset line) to Oracle Assets using the Post Mass Additions process.
