Generate Asset Lines
This process generates summary asset lines for a single project or for a range of projects.
Prerequisites
Before you run the Generate Asset Lines process, you must cost the transactions by running the processes listed below. You do not need to interface these costs to Oracle General Ledger before you create asset lines.
- Distribute Expense Report Costs
- Distribute Supplier Invoice Adjustments
- Interface Supplier Invoices from Payables
- Distribute Total Burdened Costs (if you are capitalizing burdened CIP costs)
Before you run the Generate Asset Lines process, you must also run the Update Project Summary Amounts process. If you fail to run Update Project Summary Amounts, you will not see the total expensed and CIP amounts in the Capital Projects Summary window.
Process Submission
To submit the process for all projects, submit the PRC: Generate Asset Lines for a Range of Projects process from the Submit Request window.
To submit the process for one project, submit the PRC: Generate Asset Lines for a Single Project process from the Submit Request window. See: Submitting Requests.
Process Parameters
From Project Number. Enter the number of the project that you want the Generate Asset Lines process to use as the low end of the project number range within which it selects projects to process. If you leave this parameter blank, the Generate Asset Lines process generates asset lines for all eligible projects whose project numbers come before the project number entered in the End Project Number process parameter. See: No List of Values for Project Number Range Parameter.
To Project Number. Enter the number of the project that you want the Generate Asset Lines process to use as the high end of the project number range within which it selects projects to process. If you leave this parameter blank, the Generate Asset Lines process generates asset lines for all eligible projects whose project numbers come after the project number entered in the Start Project Number process parameter.
Project Number. Enter the number of the project for which you want to submit the Generate Draft Invoices for a Single Project process.
PA Through Date. Enter the ending date of the PA period through which you want the costs to be considered for capitalization. If the date you enter does not match a PA period ending date, but falls within a PA period, then the ending date of the preceding PA period will be used.
Date Placed in Service Through. Enter the In Service Through date. Asset lines will be created from assets with an actual Date Placed in Service before and including this date only.
Include Common Tasks? If you choose to include common costs, Oracle Projects will create asset lines from costs not assigned to specific assets.
Output Reports
The Generate Asset Lines process automatically runs the Generate Asset Lines Report, which includes three sections: Generate Asset Lines Exceptions, Reverse and Interface Exceptions, and Generate Asset Lines.
- The Generate Asset Lines Exception Report. The Generate Asset Lines Exceptions section only prints if you run the Generate Asset Lines for a single project. This section shows asset lines that were not created for a project, and the reason each one was rejected. Rejection reasons include the following:
- The project has no asset assignments
- The project has no assets with valid in service dates
- The project has no eligible capitalizable costs to process
Note: If you are interfacing burden costs, then you must run the Distribute Burden Costs process before asset lines can be created.
- The sum and count of reversed lines
- The sum and count of generated lines
- A subtotal for each project
- The overall total for the generation run
If the process creates an asset line, but is unable to assign an asset to it, Oracle Projects displays an asterisk (*) for the line and marks it as UNASSIGNED in the Asset Name column of the report.
