CJ88 Settlement - Asset Value Date

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In the CJ88 screen, is there a way to make the 'Asset Value Date' as mandatory field ? If yes, where is this configuration ?

Thanks,

Dear Freddy,

This configuration is maintained in FI module in the area of assets. It is standard practice to make the asset value date mandatory which makes it important to provide that date when the asset is getting settled for the very first time (subsequent settlement to the same asset wont require this date, hope you understand why).

You will need to consult with your FI/asset team for this as no standard configuration exists in PS for your requirements.

Freddy,

Try with your FI consultant as mentioned in the above thread, if nothing works try creating a screen variant where you can define that field as mandatory.

Guys,

Thanks for your replies.

Already checked with FI consultant - On the Assets side, 'Asset Value Date' is mandatory.

I need to make it mandatory only on the CJ88 screen. I will try the 'screen variant' approach and let you know the outcome. Thanks

There is no need of screen variant

If you check again and ask your FI guys - ask what is the date for mantroy set - end of period or today's date

If you leave this blank while settling from CJ88 the system will automatically use the last day of the period (set as mandatory by FI)

This would mean that you cannot settle again in that period as the asset has a last posting of the end of period date.

You can set the default asset value date via FI customising - once this is done you do not need the date to be filled in when running CJ88
