Asset is under construction #
This process tracks construction as a project, allocating all costs via Project dimension and forming a Fixed Asset (FA).
1.1. Project Setup #
- “Projects” → Add new (e.g., “Construction of Building X”).
- Fixed Asset (FA) → Create a card for the future building (e.g., “Building X”, depreciation method, useful life) will be in Initial Recognition.
1.2. Inventory and Materials #
- In “Items”, add:
- Construction materials (bricks, concrete, etc.).
- Prefabricated components (windows, doors) for Assembly/Disassembly.
2.1. Material Procurement (Bill) #
Document: Bill
- Location (Warehouse): Construction Site
- Items: Bricks, cement, etc.
- GL Account: 13200 Raw Materials
- Analytics: Project = “Construction of Building X”
(If materials go directly to construction, use Bill G/L tab to allocate to FA immediately on 18300 Acquisition and Creation of Fixed Assets.)
2.2. Direct Cost Allocation to FA (Bill G/L Tab) #
Document: “Bill” → “GL Accounting” tab
- Debit Account: 18300 Acquisition and Creation of Fixed Assets
- Extra Dimension (Asset): “Building X”
- Analytics: Project = “Construction of Building X”
(Used if materials/services are directly expensed to construction, bypassing inventory.)
2.3. Material Write-Off for Construction (Inventory Adjustment) #
Document: Inventory Adjustment
- Operation Type: “Withdrawal”
- Warehouse: Construction Site
- Items: Bricks, rebar, etc.
- Expense Account: 18300 Acquisition and Creation of Fixed Assets
- Extra Dimension (Asset): “Building X”
- Analytics: Project = “Construction of Building X”
(If materials were first stocked and later used in construction.)
2.4. Component Manufacturing (Assembly/Disassembly) #
Document: Assembly or Disassembly
- Input Materials: Concrete + Rebar → Precast Slab (new item).
- Output Location: “Finished Components” Warehouse.
- Analytics: Project = “Construction of Building X”.
(Later, precast slabs are written off via Inventory Adjustment to FA.)
2.5. Commissioning the Building #
Document: Initial Recognition
- Asset: “Building X”
- Debit Account: 18100 Fixed Assets in Operations
- Credit Account: 18300 Acquisition and Creation of Fixed Assets
- Amount: Total project costs accumulated.
3. Project Cost Monitoring #
- Report: General Journal → Filter by Project “Construction of Building X”.
- FA Card → All costs auto-aggregated under account 18300 Acquisition and Creation of Fixed Assets.
