Posting Capitalization of AUC with Line Item Settlement

Procedure

Determine the asset under construction that is being capitalized, and the finished asset or other receivers (such as cost centers).

Clear any existing open down payments, which need to be capitalized, using a reserve (see Down Payments to Assets Under Construction).

Create the distribution rules for the line items you want to settle for the asset under construction (Postings ® Cap. asset u. cons. ® Distribute).

Select (mark) the affected line items.
Choose the function Create s. dist. rule.
Enter the means for the distribution in the settlement distribution rule (percentage rates or equivalence numbers) and the respective receivers (assets or general ledger accounts).

Start the settlement of the asset under construction (Postings ® Cap. asset u. cons. ® Post settlement). The system then settles the line items, to which a distribution rule with receivers have been assigned. Remove the selection for Test run in the initial screen of the transaction, and enter the value date of the settlement.

Once the asset under construction has been completely settled (there are no more values in any depreciation areas), the system automatically deactivates the asset under construction. You can switch off this automatic deactivation using an indicator in the definition of transaction types 340/345.

For information on reversing a settlement, see Reversals.
