1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to help the users in understanding the various functionalities of the
current Asset Management system of LexisNexis UK.
Scope
This document specifies the step by step approach needed to run the custom as well as the delivered
processes in AM system.
Glossary of Asset Management Terms:

Description
The total depreciation for an asset since it was placed in-service
The Depreciation convention that means the depreciation start date is
based on the day that the asset enters service. For example, for an asset
that entered service on 26 June, calculations will be based on 5/30ths of a
whole month of depreciation. Actual day processing in PeopleSoft has some
serious problems associated with it.
The Depreciation convention that means the depreciation start date is
based on the month that the asset enters service. For example, an asset
that entered service on 26 June, calculations will be based on a whole
month of depreciation for June, rather than 5 days worth for Actual day.
Anything owned by the company having a monetary value; e.g., 'fixed'
assets like buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles (these are not assets if
rented and not owned) and potentially including intangibles like trade marks
and brand names, and 'current' assets, such as stock, debtors and cash.
Used to store financial information about assets. Some companies will have
more than one book, for example, one for accounting and one for taxation
purposes. In addition, if a company operates in more than one country, they
may need a separate book for each currency. It is when you associate the
book with the business unit that you provide the rules and policies that
make the system run as the users require it to. For example, you define
whether to produce accounting entries or not by business unit / book.
Used to group assets which require identical accounting entries. Examples
of commonly used asset categories are Fixtures and Fittings, Computer
Equipment, Automobiles. The combination of asset category and
transaction code determines into which accounts an asset transaction is
entered. The asset class field should be used to group assets for reporting
purposes.
Asset Class is used to group assets for reporting purposes. It can be used
in combination with the Category Code to refine asset classification. For
example, an executive desk is categorized as Furniture and Fixtures for the
balance sheet. Within the broad category of furniture and fixtures, you can
use an Asset Class code to identify it as a desk.
An asset profile is a template that contains standard depreciation criteria for
an asset type and its corresponding asset books. The information set up in
profiles can be used as default values when you are adding assets to the
system. Profiles are recommended when you have a large number of
assets of the same typethe defaults will minimize data entry and ensure
accuracy.
Refers to the change of account responsibility for an asset. Thus if an asset
changes ownership from one department to another, even though the asset
does not move, this is an asset transfer.
There are two calculation types in common use with PeopleSoft. Remaining

Life and Life to Date.

The cost of an asset is transferred from the Income & Expenditure section
of the accounts (P&L) to the Balance Sheet. Then in each accounting period
a depreciation charge is levied on the P&L to write off the cost. Items such
as the cost of canteen meals or rail travel for people (usually consultants)
working on specific capital projects are often capitalised!
In economics, business, and accounting, a cost is a price paid, or otherwise
associated with, a commercial event or economic transaction. An
expression in money units of the effect of activating or consuming
resources. This can include not only the price of the asset purchase, but
also any expenditure related to installing, delivering or commissioning an
asset.
Cost types represent different components of the cost of an asset, such as
machinery, commissioning charges & transportation costs. Cost type, in
combination with asset category and transaction code, determines into
which accounts the costs are entered in the General Ledger.
The apportionment of cost of a capital item over an agreed period, based on
life expectancy or obsolescence. For example, a piece of equipment costing
10k having a nominal life of five years might be depreciated over five years
at a cost of 2k per year. The asset may well last longer than that and still
be providing economic benefit to the company after that time. An alternative
definition states is the diminishing service, capacity, or utility of; the loss of
usefulness of; or the wasting away of tangible asset during the periods of
service life.
Depreciation conventions, in combination with an asset's in-service date,
determine when depreciation will start. PeopleSoft supports several, but the
implementation of Actual Day has significant errors. Actual Month works
fine. See Actual Day / Actual Month.
The date that the asset started providing economic benefit for the company.
A piece of machinery may be installed months before it is put into use,
during which time the machine is tested. The in-service date is when the
machine is used as a productive part of the business. Some equipment
does not require commissioning and then, commonly, the in-service date is
assumed to be the supplier invoice date. This is not by necessity the same
as the depreciation start date see Depreciation convention.
The historical cost of an asset less the accumulated depreciation.
The expected selling price of an asset at the end of its useful life.
A computer expected to last three years might be written off on a 33.3%
straight line basis. This means its entire cost would be written off in equal
amounts over a three year cycle.

3.5
ACCOUNTING ENTRY TEMPLATES
The Accounting Entry template is the central table used for creating accounting entries to general
ledger journals. Each is defined by an accounting entry template ID. When an accounting entry
template is added, Peoplesoft automatically populates it with standard accounting entry types, based
on the asset category, cost type, and action specified. It also identifies each entry as either a debit or
credit.
In LexisNexis UK, an accounting entry template is defined for each possible combination of asset
category and transaction type.
Navigation: Home Asset Management Asset Definitions Center > Accounting Entry Templates
In the screen below, for the Asset Category FF the accounting entry templates are defined for all
possible transaction types.
The accounting entry creation process creates accounting entries based on the account numbers
specified in this page. If an asset is entered into the system for the combination of Asset category and
transaction type for which no accounting entry template exists, the accounting entry process would
fail.
Page 15 of 117
Whenever the account numbers present in the page above is changed, the next time the accounting
entry creation process is run and an accounting entry is generated then it is done for the changed
account number.
For eg. If the Fixed Asset account number in the page above is changed from 073401 to 073402
then for all the new/existing assets belonging to the category FF the Fixed Assets account 073402
will be accounted by the accounting entry creation process.

5.1.4 Adding Assets with Accumulated Depreciation

It should be appreciated that we may face situations where we have to enter old assets in our system.
Acquisition of a company is a good example for this. When we acquire a company we may have to
enter their existing assets into our system. These assets would have an accumulated depreciation.
Thus the assets should be added with an accumulated depreciation and such assets should start
depreciating according to the LexisNexis depreciation policy.
Navigation: Home Asset Management Financial Management Owned Assets Express Add
There are four key date fields. The relevance of these date fields is explained belowTransaction Date: The system calculates the depreciation of the asset from this date. If this is the
current date, system would calculate depreciation from the current period. But if that is not the case
then the Transaction date should be the date from which the user would want the system to calculate
the depreciation.
For eg. If the asset is entered in March 2008 and the accumulated depreciation includes the
depreciation until February 2008, then the transaction date should be March 2008 so that the system
adds the accumulated depreciation and calculates depreciation from March 2008. But if the
accumulated depreciation does not include the January and February depreciation and is only until
December 2007, then the transaction date should be January 2008. Thus the system would record
the accumulated depreciation (which is until December 2007) calculate depreciation for January and
February 2008 as Prior Period depreciation and depreciation from the current period - March in the
normal fashion.

In the table above, the accumulated depreciation of the Asset A is until the previous period
(February) and hence the system need not calculate any Prior Period Depreciation. Hence the
Transaction date can be the current date. Whereas for the Asset B, the accumulated depreciation is
only until December 2007. Hence the system should calculate the depreciation for the period January
and February 2008. In order to do this the transaction date is entered as 1 st Jan 2008.

Periodically, it is necessary to make changes to asset records in order to correct errors or add newly
received information. Modifications can be made to any information that has been entered about
assets, including cost, quantity, cost centre, depreciation rules, location, physical attributes and so on.
You can adjust the total cost of an asset by either a percentage of its original cost or by a specific cost
amount.

4. Run the Depreciation Calculation process to update the Depreciation table with the book
adjustment data.
Line table that reflects the cost adjustment activity.
When the depreciation attributes (useful life, method etc) are changed in this page, the
depreciation needs to be recalculated. There are two kinds of calculation types Remaining Value
and Life to date.
The Remaining value method is used to deduct any accumulated depreciation from the cost and
depreciate the remaining value over the remaining life of the asset. The depreciation for the
remaining life is done according to the depreciation principles defined in the PeopleSoft. Most of
the assets will be depreciation by this method.
Whereas the Life-to-date method would calculate the difference between the depreciation charged
till date ie., the accumulated depreciation and the depreciation allowed according to the new
change. The difference amount (could be a debit or credit) is charged as a Prior Period
Depreciation (PDP).
Page 61 of 117
For eg., The useful life of an asset that has been in use for past one year is increased by two years
(from 3 years to 5 years)
Cost of the asset
: 6000
Useful Life
: 3 years
Accumulated Depreciation: 2000 (for one year)
If the calculation type is Remaining Value, the system would calculate the depreciation for the
remaining life based on the changed useful life value. It would distribute the remaining Net Book
Value across the remaining changed useful life of the asset ( 5 1 year ie., 4 years). There will not
be any Prior Period Depreciation.
Net Book Value
: 4000
Depreciation per year according to the changed values
: 4000/4 = 1000
If the calculation type is Life to Date the system would calculate the depreciation till date according
to the changed useful life, 5 years. This is compared against the actual depreciation charged so far
and the difference is recorded as the Prior Period Depreciation (PDP).
Depreciation charged till date
: 2000
Depreciation per year according to the changed values: 6000/5 = 1200
Excess depreciation charged (Difference)
: 800
The excess depreciation will be recorded as Prior Period depreciation and henceforth the yearly
depreciation allocation would be 1200

PO-AP INTEGRATION
10.1
ASSET CREATION PURCHASING/ACCOUNTS PAYABLE INTEGRATION
When an asset is purchased via the Purchase order process, the key asset information
(AP/AM clearing account, Asset Business Unit, Asset profile id and capitalize option) are
entered in the Purchase Order .
The above asset information present in the Purchase Order will flow through to the voucher,
receiver and eventually the asset definition.
When the invoice is received, the voucher is created from data on the Purchase Order.
After the voucher is posted and matched, the Load Assets Process is run to update the PreAM Interface tables with Financial Information for the asset.
The AP/PO Interface Process is run to populate the Financial and Physical Interface Tables
with the asset information (INTFC_FIN, INTFC_PHY_A, INTFC_PHY_B) which is followed
by the Transaction Loader process which populates all of the main asset tables (ASSET,
ASSET_ACQ, COST, ASSET_LOC, BOOK, etc.)
Depreciation rules that have defaulted from the asset profile can be modified as necessary
after the asset has been created in the Asset Management system.
As with all asset financial transactions (additions, maintenance), the Depreciation

Calculation and the Accounting Entry Creation processes must be run to complete the
activity.
10.2
ASSET ADD PO/AP INTEGRATION STEPS
Following steps can be carried out for PO-AP Integration

Step 1: Create Purchase Order from Requisition
It is the Buyers responsibility to check that Purchase Orders are correctly coded when purchasing
items classified as assets.
All individual items of over 1000 and of a capital nature must be capitalized. Computer
hardware/software if under this value may at the discretion of management, be capitalized. Capital
items include computer hardware, software, plant equipment furniture and fittings and motor
vehicles.
Items classified as assets should be coded to the General Ledger account 011204 and a valid
department id should be included.
On the Purchase Order, the AM Unit and Profile ID must be filled in. Alternatively, if the AM Unit and
Profile id are filled in, the Purchase Order line must be coded to 011204 and a valid department id.
Recently, a customisation is implemented that would validate the account and the asset details
entered in the Purchase Order. If the account is 011204 and there are no asset details and vice
versa the system would prompt the user to enter the appropriate information. (PSREQ 12276)
Page 63 of 117
Proc
To assign asset information to a Purchase Order you need to select the schedule button on the Purchase Order.
Page 64 of 117
From this menu you will need to select the Distribution/Chartfields button.
The following screen is displayed.
Within this screen you can see the Account code to which the goods are being charged
Within this screen you have to select the asset Information tab.
The asset information tab will be displayed.
Within this screen you have to populate the AM Unit the Profile ID and ensure the Capitalize check
box is ticked.
The various Profile ID for assets is displayed by selecting the magnify glass in the profile ID field.
On completion the screen should look like the example below.

Step 6: Run the query Lnukam_Preintfc_Accountingdt. This query is to ensure that the accounting
date of all the lines in the interface table correspond to the current open period. If any of the interface
line does not belong to the open period then those line details are returned by the query. Then the
user navigates to the Load Preview Pre-AM page and would change the accounting date.
Query: Lnukam_Preintfc_Accountingdt
In the page above, the query result has shown two lines that has the accounting date out of the
current open period. These values should be changed.

Page 74 of 117
Step 9: Run the query Lnukam_Asset_Unitize to identify the lines that needs to be split.
When the voucher line has got a quantity more than 1, i.e, 5 then the AM process would create just
one asset with the quantity 5. But if we need 5 assets (one for each quantity) in the place of 1 asset
then the load lines should be unitized. In order to identify the lines that need to be split, the query
below is run.
