Asset Expense Posting

You use this program to make manual adjustments to expense code costs.

The purpose of this program is to enable you to record expenses incurred for assets without producing a journal. The postings made using this program update the Expense file/table, which is used for reporting purposes only.

The provisions of Paragraphs 12 through 14 of IAS 16, deal with subsequent costs incurred for assets. Paragraph 12 requires that the costs of servicing assets and consumables should be recorded in the profit and loss as they are incurred and not against the assets themselves. The Asset Expense Posting program enables you to record such transactions against the asset without affecting the General Ledger.
