Assets can be transferred to a different activity or to one of four associations within the same activity. Eligible associations include: cost center, department, division, and location. Use the following procedure to enter and update transfer information for a single asset. This information enables the application to properly calculate current depreciation and delete the original asset after the current year, when applicable.
Notes
- The current depreciation will calculate through the end of the month prior to the transfer date on the original asset, and then will make a copy of the asset and assign the balance of the current depreciation for that year (or depreciation period) to the newly created asset.
- Disposed and current-year assets cannot be transferred.
- To transfer two or more assets in a single transaction, see Transferring multiple assets simultaneously.
- To copy an asset to a different client or activity and delete the original asset, see Moving assets.
- To create a copy of an asset, see Copying assets.
- Open the Asset List window for an activity.
- If you want to transfer a portion of an asset, divide the asset containing the portion you want to transfer.
- Select the asset you want to transfer and click the Modify button.
-
In the Asset Detail dialog, click the Transfer tab.
Note: If the selected asset has been disposed or was placed in service in the current year, the fields in the Transfer tab are not available.
- In the Transfer-Out group box, enter a date in the Date of transfer field in MMDDYY format.
- In the Type of transfer field, select either Activity or an association from the drop-down list. Eligible associations, which must be set up for the asset, include cost center, department, division, and location.
- In the To field, select the activity or association to which you want to transfer the asset. The options available in the drop-down list depend on the selection in the Type of transfer field.
- If desired, select a treatment from the Treatment drop-down list to view the cost/basis and total depreciation for the new asset.
- Click Done to complete the transfer and return to the Asset List window. The application creates a new asset based on the information you entered and modifies the original asset based on the transfer.
