Acquisition by Transfer (ATFA251 - SIGAATF)

CONTENTS

01. OVERVIEW

The purpose of this routine is to transfer (post) the assets acquired as advances (N3_TIPO = 03) and/or common assets (N3_TIPO = 01) to final assets (N3_TIPO = 01).

Acquisitions by transfer must be made in the month immediately after the date of the last depreciation calculation. If advances have depreciation values, these will be moved to the final assets.

When the final assets are generated, no depreciation type is calculated.

The amounts of depreciation existing in each item to be posted are added together and prorated to the final asset(s), in proportion to their original value.

The advances transferred/posted can generate one or more final assets.

This process converts the asset from Type 13 - Managerial Advance to Type 10 - Managerial when generating the new finalized asset.
