Technical review check

ASSET-ACCUM-DEPR-NEGFatal (F)

Where it lives: Form ASSET. This check is answered inside the SACS Web System, not from the general ledger export.

CDE's wordingThe exact exception text for this check appears on the TRC screen in the SACS Web System when it fires; it is not reproduced here.

Fatal. The Official Export will not run until it is cleared.

What it means

The check

Concerns Form ASSET: an accumulated depreciation figure that has gone negative, which usually means activity was keyed with the wrong sign or larger than the balance it reduces.

How to fix it

Where to fix it

  • Review the accumulated depreciation lines in Form ASSET against the fixed asset ledger and re-enter with the correct sign.
In SACS Pre-Flight

Not run from the export

Not run by SACS Pre-Flight: it needs data that is not in the Other Export. When your export carries CDE's own review log, Pre-Flight lists this check under 'Not run here' rather than counting it.

See every check on your own file before the system runs them. Drop a SACS Other Export (.dat) into SACS Pre-Flight: findings with line numbers, free, entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your computer.
