Messaging Between Order and Inventory Management and Fixed Asset Management

Provided everything has been configured correctly to support the Capital Expenditure integration between Order and Inventory Management and Fixed Asset Management, messages containing purchasing information are sent automatically from Order and Inventory Management upon asset approval (acquisition). Fixed Asset Management receives these messages and automatically creates assets with the assigned asset group or asset sub-group. Fixed Asset Management sends asset group and asset sub-group information to Order and Inventory Management.

You can view the messages that Order and Inventory Management and Fixed Asset Management send or publish, on the Message Types tab of the Foundations Administration application.

If the integration between Fixed Asset Management and Accounting is also set up, Accounting subscribes to the Fixed Asset Management messages so that it can receive the information and create journals to record the acquisition, depreciation, and disposal values on the balance sheet. For more information about the Fixed Asset Management to Accounting integration, see Fixed Asset Management to Accounting Journals Overview.

Note: When publishing approval (acquisition) messages for assets created by this integration you must ensure that the Payment GL Account field uses the same general ledger account as the Purchase Analysis GLA for Product field in Order and Inventory Management. For more information, see Messaging between Fixed Asset Management and Accounting.
