What Problems Does This Solve?

The Fragmented Investment Operations Problem:

When requisition, register, and reporting are managed in separate tools, teams face:

• Broken traceability between request and active lifecycle
• Inconsistent category and status usage
• Delays in depreciation review and monthly close
• Manual consolidation for management reporting
• Higher risk of invalid master data or incomplete records

The Investment Applet Solution:

• Structured requisition intake for claim-style request lifecycle
• Controlled register lifecycle for active investment and asset records
• Category governance to standardize investment classification
• Built-in reporting for depreciation month-based analysis
• Configurable settings and defaults for consistent multi-branch operations

The Four Core Areas

Quick Start Guide

5. Save as draft, then submit when complete.

What you can track in listing: Claim ID, Claimant, Claim Title, Created Date, and Status.

For Finance Operations: Create and Maintain Deposit Register

Goal: Build and maintain an active register record with depreciation configuration.

2. Click Add to create a register item.
3. Fill asset details: code, name, category, company, branch, location, currency, and status.
4. Configure depreciation details for registered assets.
5. Save and maintain lifecycle updates as transactions evolve.

What you can track in listing: Asset Code, Asset Name, Category, Company, Location, Purchase Date, Purchase Price, Depreciation Method, and Asset Status.

For Admins: Set Up Category and Controls

Goal: Ensure consistent category usage and field behavior.

1. Open Deposit Category and create categories with code, name, and status.
2. Set category statuses to ACTIVE or INACTIVE as governance requires.
3. Go to Settings and configure field/default controls.
4. Validate with one requisition and one register test flow.

Scenario Playbooks

Manager Playbook: Requisitions Not Progressing

Symptoms: Many requisitions remain in draft or temp state for long periods.

1. Filter requisitions by created date and status.
2. Identify missing required fields (claim title, cost center, entity linkage).
3. Check whether required line or attachment details are incomplete.
4. Coach users to move TEMP to DRAFT and then SUBMITTED promptly.
5. Track weekly aging report for unresolved drafts.

Finance Playbook: Register Validation Failures

Symptoms: Register entries fail save or cannot transition to registered workflows.

1. Validate detail fields first (code, category, organization, currency, GL, status).
2. Confirm depreciation config is complete for registered-state records.
3. Review transaction type effects for disposal scenarios.
4. Re-run save after correcting missing depreciation configuration.
5. Confirm listing reflects updated status and values.

Finance Close Playbook: Depreciation Reporting Gaps

Symptoms: Report output is incomplete or missing expected records.

1. Verify company selection is provided (required in report search flow).
2. Confirm month range values are correctly set.
3. Check asset status and category filters are not overly restrictive.
4. Re-run report and compare against register listing counts.
5. Escalate mismatches with sample GUIDs for data correction.

FAQ

Q: Why do I see both claim-style and asset-style terms?
A: The investment applet source combines requisition workflows (claim-style states) and register workflows (asset lifecycle states).

Q: What is the main difference between Deposit Requisition and Deposit Register?
A: Requisition is the request workflow, while Register is the active lifecycle record used for ongoing management and reporting.

Q: Can I save a register item without depreciation setup?
A: Draft flows can be saved with detail validity, but registered-state workflows require valid depreciation configuration.

Q: Why is company required in reports?
A: The report flow enforces company context before generating depreciation analysis.

Q: Why are some settings not visible?
A: Visibility may be tenant-controlled by feature visibility and permission configuration.
