Fixed Assets

tinik

Hi to anyone,

Right now i am learning Fixed Assets on my own. I don't have any accounting background. I have just created a fixed asset and put in the necessary fields. Then created a FA Journal and FA Journal Template, but whenever i try to post it the following message appears:

'FA Posting Type Acquisition Cost must be posted in the general journal in FA Journal Line Template Name='DEFAULT', Journal Batch Name='DEFAULT',Line No.='10000'.'

Can any help me on this? Any advise would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Cheers,

Tinik

If I remember correctly I think it has somthing to do with the following:

FA -> Setup -> Depreciation Book -> Integration

I think that you have Acquisition Cost ticked. This means that you have to post the Acquisition using the FA GL Journal instead of using the FA Journal.

Basically anything that is ticked as integrating to the G/L needs to be posted from the FA GL Journal. Anything not ticked can be posted from the regular FA Journal.

Hope this helps you out a bit

Thanks Steve for your reply. I'll take a look at your advise. Right now i'm just playing around with the Fixed Assets in the sample Cronus DB. Thanks again.
