Basic Registrations
Tips:
zExplain the necessity of filling in the mandatory fields (fields in
blue color).
zCheck if there is a need to create new specific fields for the
client. Use the configurator for this.
zThe Moeda 3 (UFIR) is already set up as the currency for calculating Fixed Assets.
zThe UFIR had its rate frozen at 0.8287 on 12/16/1995 (Law No. 9249 art.
IV), with the extinction of the indexers.
zThe Purchasing module can be integrated with Fixed Assets through the field 'Current.'
The 'Asset' of the TES. In this way, the asset is already automatically recorded in the registration of
assets should only be classified.
Registrations:
zCoins
{ Use this registration to inform the daily rate of the UFIR (0.8287). If the
customers controlling the asset in other currencies must be informed of the
daily quotes of these currencies.
zCentros de Custo
{ In the Fixed Asset module, this registration is merely informative and may
including being dismissed.
Note: If the user wants to make the monetary correction (even if not
it must be mandatory), the parameter MV_CORREC must contain 'S' and the parameter
MV_VALCORR must contain the rate to be used in the correction.

after the importation of the goods or after a calculation of depreciation.
zRebuild Balances
{ Use this routine to reconstruct the Balance File (SN5). The Balance
can be reconstructed from the Asset Register (SN1+SN3) or from
Movement File (SN4).
Be aware of:
zFill in the fields: cost centers (acquisition and depreciation) and accounts
fixed assets (depreciation and accumulated depreciation) from the registration of
assets.
zSetthe MV_ATFCONT parameter.
zEach process has its standardized launch code already determined. The

Not setting the MV_ATFCONT parameter can lead to improper integration and recording of fixed asset transactions, resulting in inaccurate financial reporting and potential non-compliance with accounting standards. This parameter ensures that each asset process is aligned with the standardized launch codes, maintaining consistency and accuracy in asset management operations .
Creating new specific fields for clients in the Fixed Asset module allows for customized asset tracking and reporting, tailored to meet specific client needs or industry requirements. This customization enhances the functionality of the system, enabling comprehensive data capture that supports precise financial analysis and decision-making specific to the client’s operational context .
Configuring parameters like MV_ULTDEPR and MV_VALCORR is crucial for accurate asset depreciation and correction. MV_ULTDEPR indicates the last depreciation period, facilitating ongoing depreciation calculations, while MV_VALCORR specifies the correction rate if monetary correction is to be performed. This setup ensures precision in calculating an asset's value over time, accommodating potential inflation or market changes .
The Fixed Asset module manages acquisition and depreciation data by requiring detailed registration of each company's permanent assets. Key parameters such as MV_ULTDEPR and MV_ATFMOED must be configured to track asset acquisition dates and calculate accurate depreciation over time, using UFIR as the currency standard for consistency .
Registration codes like 820 and 840 represent specific operations within the Fixed Asset module, such as the calculation of general depreciation and accelerated depreciation, respectively. These codes facilitate streamlined and standardized processing of complex asset management tasks, ensuring consistent application of depreciation policies across assets .
The UFIR rate, which was frozen at 0.8287 per law, serves as the currency standard for calculating the value of fixed assets, ensuring consistent monetary valuation across financial reporting. Its daily rate should be informed in the system for correct asset registration and valuation, aiding in accurate accounting and legislative conformity .
The Fixed Asset module accommodates changes in asset valuation due to legislative changes, like Law 8200, through specific implementation and exclusion records with standardized launch codes. These include asset implementation types such as reassessment (802) and specific law implementations (Type 04). For exclusions or cancellations related to Law 8200, codes like 808 and 813 are used. This systematic approach ensures compliance with legislative requirements while maintaining accurate asset records .
It would be unnecessary to register cost centers and chart of accounts within the Fixed Asset Module if either the Accounting or Managerial Accounting module is already in use. These modules handle the necessary classifications, rendering separate registrations in the Fixed Asset module redundant .
Conducting an integrity check after importing goods or calculating depreciation is vital to ensure that all records within the Fixed Asset system are accurate and consistent. It identifies discrepancies or errors in asset data, maintaining the reliability of financial reporting and preventing potential losses or compliance issues arising from inaccurate asset valuations .
The critical steps in integrating the Purchasing module with the Fixed Asset module include ensuring that the 'Asset' field in the TES is correctly filled to automatically record the asset in the asset registration system. This seamless integration allows for the classification of the asset once acquired .
