If the project manager does not respond till last day of the month on the additional information on the PCN/ PEN for the due RFS projects
then L1 officer may proceeds for the provisional capitalization. Incase confirmation has been received from Project owner the L1 officer will
scrutinize the PCN/PEN/Confirmation and in discussion with L2 officer will decide for the final/provisional capitalization of that month.
Based on the confirmation of the RFS date from the project managers, assets are capitalized and Asset Addition Report (T-code – ZASSET_REP) is
generated at month end.
Capitalization is done either through system or provisional as per the provisional capitalization guidelines.
