If you do not allow group assets in the associated corporate book: No group asset is allowed in either the corporate or tax books. In Oracle Assets, any asset must exist in the corporate book before being added to the tax book. A group asset is no exception to this rule. Therefore, a group asset must be allowed in the corporate book in order to be copied to the tax book.
Note: Mass Copy does not copy any type of group adjustment, including group reserve transfer, group retirement adjustments, and group unplanned depreciation.
Optionally check the Allow CIP Members in Group Assets check box to enable adding CIP assets to group assets. If this check box is not checked, you will not be able to add a CIP asset to a group asset, even if you have set the default group asset on the Default Depreciation Rules window on the Categories form. If the Allow CIP Members in Group Assets check box is unchecked, the Allow CIP Depreciation in Group Assets check box is disabled.
Once the Allow CIP Members in Group Assets check box is checked and saved, you cannot uncheck it.
You must check the Allow CIP Depreciation in Group Assets check box to depreciate the CIP asset cost for member assets.
Optionally check the Allow Member Asset Tracking check box to enable member asset tracking for the depreciation book. Once the check box is checked and saved, you cannot uncheck it.
You must check the Allow Intercompany Member Asset Assignments check box if you want to allow member assets to have balancing segment values that are different than the balancing segment value of the group asset.
If the check box is unchecked for a particular depreciation book, you cannot set up member asset tracking for that book.
