If you need to reduce the acquisition values of Fixed Assets objects by cash discount received for invoices with fixed assets postings, we need to select the check box 'Reduction by Cash Discount' in the window Company/ fixed Assets tab.

 

Further, we need to Select the 'Apply Cash Discount to Fixed Assets Acquisition Values' check box in 'Payment terms' window if you need to reduce the acquisition values of Fixed Assets objects by a received cash discount.

 

We checked our settings, and all the needed settings were already there.

 

Standard process fixed assets:

 

There are a few working steps before a new object at Financials – Fixed Assets will be created.

 

For example, first there is an order of the purchasing department for a new machine, then we receive the machine and the invoice. After that we post the invoice and then the object will be created.

 

Is there a standard process which steps have to or are defined to be done before an object will be created?

 

Actually, we book all the invoices with fixed assets on an interim account and then we create an object and activate it with Financials – General Ledger – Voucher Entry -Voucher Type M.

 

So, we are wondering if there is an order of steps which have to be done, that we can use Financials – Fixed Assets – Object Functions – Add Investment – Progress for cash discount.

Hi, 

If I understand correctly you book PO’s Invoices and similar to an interim account (X) that is not a fixed asset acquisition account.  Then later create the FA object and move a value from X to your “true” acquisition account with the FA object using a manual voucher.   

 

The manual voucher in this case would no longer be directly connected to the invoice. The resulting payment term discount would no longer apply.  IFS would need a more direct connection such as having the supplier invoice post to the FA acquisition account.   This would bypass the interim account. 

 

Hope this helps, 

 

Best regards,

This may be what your looking for...Reduction by Cash Discount exercises from IFS Apps 9 eLearning, although I think it should work for Apps 10 as well.
