Connect Serial to FA Object

Explanation

Use this activity when you want to connect a serial to a fixed asset object (FA object) in a fixed asset rotable part pool. Alternate inventory parts serials to the primary part number (defined in the header section of the Rotable Part Pool page) can also be connected to a fixed asset object. This will generate inventory transactions, as the serial will be transformed to a fixed asset object from a financial point of view. The acquisition value of the fixed asset object will be the previous inventory value of the serial.

Prerequisites

• The Pool Diff Qty must be greater than zero.
• The primary part number defined in the header section of the Rotable Part Pool page must exist as a serial tracked inventory part at the sites selected in Sites tab in the Rotable Part Pool page.
• The inventory valuation method for the inventory part must be Standard Cost, the inventory part cost level must be Cost per Serial, and the zero cost control must be Zero Cost Allowed.
• The inventory part must be in stock and the ownership must be specified as Company Owned.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, a serial is connected to a FA object in a fixed asset rotable part pool. Inventory transactions will be generated. The Part Connection Established field in the FA Objects tab will be updated to Part Connection Established.
