Add treatments to prior period
When processing clients in Fixed Assets CS you may need to add treatments, such as Book or AMT, to prior years.
To add a treatment to a prior year and then bring it forward to the current year, you'll need to add the treatment to each year, then close the client for the current year.
For example, assume that a client has the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 periods available to process, but the Book treatment was not set up. The easiest way to add the new treatment would be:
- Start in the 2015 period.
- SelectSetup, thenTreatmentsand enable the Book treatment.
- Go back to 2014 and enableBook, then do the same for 2013, then 2012.
- You're now in the 1st year that the treatment is needed. Here you can enter data for the treatment and close the client forward from 2012 to 2015.
Complete the following steps.
- In the most recent period in which you want to add a new treatment, selectSetup,Treatments, then add the new treatment.
- SelectFile, thenSelect Period to Process, and move to the preceding period.
- SelectSetup,Treatments, and add the new treatment.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you've added the new treatment to the earliest period it's needed for.
- In that earliest period, enter input values for the treatment or use one of theBuildoptions.
- When you've completed the data entry for the new treatment, selectFile,Select Period to Process, thenClose to Next Year.
- SelectMerge.
- Repeat Steps 6 to 7 until Fixed Assets CS merges the new treatment forward to the most recent year it's needed for.
