COMPUTE/UPDATE FISCAL YEAR-TO-DATE AMOUNT

Use this toolkit to re-compute the Fiscal Year To Date depreciation values in your Asset Master records based on entries in the Fixed Assets Posting Detail table for the G/L Book and the Fixed Assets Depreciation History table for all other books. The data that can be changed using this toolkit may significantly affect the calculation of depreciation. This is a basic toolkit, by which data can be changed in your Asset Master records.

Very few users should need to run this toolkit.

Use this toolkit with extreme caution and only with the guidance of Deltek support personnel.

Select the Subtract Computed FYTD Amt from Prior FYTD Amt check box to have the system re-compute the Prior Fiscal Year to Date depreciation amounts by subtracting the computed FYTD amount from the Prior Fiscal Year to Date values. In most situations, you should leave this check box selected.

You should only run this toolkit under very specific circumstances. If, for example, you closed the last period in your fiscal year prematurely or if you closed the last period in your fiscal year before you had added all the periods in that fiscal year, you will need to run this toolkit to restore the fiscal year/prior fiscal year inception to date balances before you can go forward. (You will also need to run a script to re-set the correct fiscal year/period/subperiod data on the Configure Posting Settings screen in this circumstance.)

You should run this toolkit ONCE for each active book. Do NOT run this toolkit more than once per book in the same accounting period for the same fiscal year.

If you use fiscal year basis depreciation methods, you should also use the Compute/Update Depreciation Computation Data screen to verify and update the corresponding data in the Current Depr Yr and Days/Pds Remaining fields in your Asset Master records. (If the close of the last period in your fiscal year occurred prematurely, the data in the Current Depr Yr and Days/Pds Remaining fields were also updated prematurely for assets that use fiscal-year-based depreciation methods).

You should run this toolkit only to remedy the specific situation outlined in the Summary.

Location

Select FA Fiscal Year to Update

Use this group box to specify the fiscal year for which this toolkit will compute and update fiscal year/prior fiscal year inception-to-date balances in your Asset Master records.

Fiscal Year

Enter, or click to select, the fiscal year for which this toolkit will compute and update fiscal year/prior fiscal year inception-to-date balances in your Asset Master records.

Modify Prior FYTD Value

Use this group box to re-compute the Prior Fiscal Year to Date depreciation amounts by subtracting the computed FYTD depreciation amounts from the Prior Fiscal Year inception-to-date depreciation values.

Subtract Computed FYTD Amt from Prior FYTD Amt

In most situations, you should leave this check box selected.

If you select this check box, the system will re-compute the Prior Fiscal Year to Date depreciation amounts by subtracting the computed FYTD depreciation amounts from the Prior Fiscal Year inception-to-date depreciation values.

Select Asset Book

Use this group box to select the book for which values should be computed and updated.

G/L Book

Select this option to compute and update the FYTD depreciation amounts (and the Prior Fiscal Year inception-to date-depreciation values if you selected Subtract Computed FYTD Amt from Prior FYTD Amt check box) for the General Ledger Book.

Book 2

Select this option to compute and update the FYTD depreciation amounts (and the Prior Fiscal Year inception to date depreciation values if the Subtract Computed FYTD Amt from Prior FYTD Amt check box is selected) for Book 2.

Book 3 to Book 10

Please refer to the preceding documentation for the Book 2.

Rows Read

During the compute/update process, the system automatically displays the number of Asset Master records read in this non-editable field.

Rows Updated

During the compute/update process, the system automatically displays the number of Asset Master records updated in this non-editable field.

The number of records in the Rows Read and Rows Updated fields should match when the compute/update process is complete.

At the conclusion of the compute/update process, the system displays a message that tells the number of rows updated.

The number of updated rows that display in the message should also match the value displayed in the Rows Updated field.

Execute

Click the Execute button to begin the compute/update process.
