Fixed Assets Module Year End closing procedure and audit adjustments

Posted on by Ovi1Ken0vi

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the FA module. Someone in my organization is under the impression that we should not close our FA module but after we have audit adjustments.

We may not have these adjustments for many months, so not being able to run depreciation until we close it is really an inconvenience.

My coworker thinks we should estimate depreciation for now.

This seems like a really bad limitation on the module. Can someone please offer guidance on this?

Thank you all in advance!

Hello again,

I would like to add a follow up question on this. Can you add an asset to a closed book and post depreciation adjustment numbers to the related closed period in both GL and the module?

Thank you!

Hi Ovi,

You do have to process deprecation to the last day of the current FA year before you can close the year for Fixed Assets. I have also attached a blog post that one of my colleagues put together on YE close procedures for Fixed Assets, I have attached it below:

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for your answer.

I cant find anything about adding assets to a closed book or about adjustments to the module after its closed for the fiscal year.

I am mostly concerned about the FA module's books ability to be altered (whether by adding depreciation, adding new assets, or changing relevant asset fields) after it has been closed.

A scenario could be the necessity to add assets to a closed book after an acquisition valuation.

Thank you!

Hi 0vi1Ken0vi,

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but you might want to read some of the blog posts from Jen Kuntz about Fixed Assets. Maybe there will be your answer in them..

The question I would have is what kind of audit adjustments affect the FA module directly. Most audit adjustments are journal entries and thus the FA module could be closed once you've completed your regular year-end activity with it, and continue with your regular new year activities.

Jen,

In our particular case, its not audit adjustments but revisions to our assets from valuations of acquisitions we had last year.

Best,
