Prerequisites

Before you can set options for the change in acquisition value, the following must have been completed:

(Note: This prerequisite is not necessary if the object type of the object for which this activity is performed is Non Depreciable.)

System Effects

As a result of this activity, options for the change in acquisition value is set. The window Change Acquisition Value Detail is opened, and the selected object(s) is ready for change of value. The user-defined base values in Object/User-defied Base Values tab window are not updated automatically and must be changed manually.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to set options for the change in acquisition value.

1. Open the Change Object Value window and query for the object(s) for which you want to change the acquisition value.
2. Select the record(s) that you queried for, right-click and click Change Acquisition Value.
3. Enter appropriate value in the Voucher Date, User Group and Voucher Type fields. The default values are displayed.
4. The Recalculate value gives an opportunity to insert a default value for selected object/objects. This could be done by percentage or amount. Select Percent or Amount as base for recalculation of acquisition value.
5. Use the List of Values to enter a value in the Acquisition Reason field.
6. For default values enter a quantity in Value. If Percentage is selected, this field holds the percentage, and if Amount is selected the field holds the amount. For percentage: -10 = 10% reduction and 10 = 10% increase. The base for calculating is Acquisition Value.
7. Enter the event date. The object must be fully depreciated up to and including the event date. This means that a change can take place with an event date that is at the end of a period only.
8. Enter the retroactive date; the date to which the transaction affected. Event date is the default value.
9. Click OK.
