In this step of configuring JVA to enable AM functionality, you should specify the type of JVA expense information that should be stored in your company's various depreciation areas. Depreciation areas are essentially sets of depreciation books that are maintained for different purposes (e.g., book, tax).

You can specify the JVA expense data that should be included in a depreciation area by recovery indicator.

Example

An example of a set-up of depreciation areas that will support JVA processing of AM functionality follows:

Depreciation    Description        Recovery
Area                Indicator

01    Book

02    Gross Billabl Costs        BI

03    Non-billable Costs        CB, CP

04    Derived Gross Value        Derived from 02 + 03

10    Tax

This example assumes that the following recovery indicators have been defined in the JVA company:

Recovery    Description
Indicator

BI    Billable

NB    Non-billable

CP    Non-billable expenses for ventures wholly owned by the

    JVA company

The depreciation area numbers in this example are not required. Any available numbers may be used for JVA depreciation areas.

Requirements

Before configuring JVA for AM functionality, you should fully configure AM, including defining the following depreciation areas, which are required for JVA processing:

  • Gross billable costs
  • Non-billable costs
  • Gross Value

The gross value depreciation area should be defined as an area derived from the comination of the gross billable and non-billable costs areas.

By default, depreciation area 01 is set as the book depreciation area.

In addition to the book depreciation area and the areas noted above that are required for JVA processing of AM functionality, you will also want to define tax depreciation areas and additional areas to address your company's accounting requirements.

Activities

The recovery indicator is used as the basis for selecting data on assets from the JVA ledgers to be included in depreciation areas. Configuring recovery indicators for depreciation areas involves indicating which recovery indicators should not be included in a depreciation area. On the JVA Update Depreciation Areas screen, you should specify the recovery indicators for expense data that should not be included in a particular depreciation area.

If depreciation area 02 is set up in AM to include gross billable costs, as shown in the example above, it should be configured in JVA to include data with a billable recovery indicator (BI in the example). To accomplish this assignment of billable data to this depreciation area, you should specify all non-billable recovery indicators (NB and CP in the example) for the area, which will exclude data with these non-billable recovery indicators from depreciation area 02 so that the data with non-billable recovery indicators will not be included in the area.

To specify the recovery indicators for expenses that should be excluded from a depreciation area for the JVA company, enter the following information:

In the Recovery Indicator field, enter the code for the recovery indicator for expenses that should be excluded from the depreciation area.

In the Depreciation Area field, enter the code for the depreciation area from which expenses with the recovery indicator will be excluded.
