Capital Asset Builder (CAB)

Capital Asset Builder Batch Process

The Capital Asset Module (CAM) allows purchase line items to be separated and/or combined to create assets using the Capital Asset Builder (CAB) process. In order to create these assets, add payments, and apply credits, the batch process, cabExtractJob, will collect information from the General Ledger and the Purchasing module for object code sub-types specified in parameter OBJECT_SUB_TYPES. 

Capital Asset Builder Batch Status Report

The CAB Batch Status Report and CAB Mismatch Report are in the reports/cam directory within Batch File.

These reports contain information about the number of records processed for Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and the Total.  In addition, they contain the last CAB Extract Date (if no records were processed on recent runs, then the last run date can still be identified) and records that were not processed.

Common error messages and why the error occurred are listed below.

Error Message	Reason
GL records were ignored because they didn't match up with PURAP account history. These transactions needs to be created manually. "No GL records were found for CAB processing."	Added item to the PREQ does not exist on the PO for the asset object code. For example, a wire transfer charge will not be processed. PREQ was created during the batch process between the NightlyOut and CAB Extract. The eInvoice batch job may cause this when batch dependencies are not set correctly. The parameter, CAPITAL_OBJECT_CODES, does not include the object sub-type for the object code.
GL records were ignored because they were already inserted in CAB and found to be duplicate records.	Process compares the Account Number and Object Code;  If there was a change in the sub account, sub object code, Project Code, or Org Ref Id, then the record will appear to be a duplicate.
GL records were ignored because they had zero or null dollar value.	Zero value transactions are ignored in CAMS process.
