Unexpected depreciation adjustment created during disposal of a split asset

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hello Community,

I’m facing an issue when posting a disposal transaction in Fixed Assets within D365 Finance and Operations for a split asset.

The system automatically creates a depreciation adjustment, even though this should not be necessary — the disposal date corresponds exactly to the last depreciation posting date.

Here are the details of the case:

Original Asset: Named : FA-Original

  • Acquisition date: 01/01/2024
  • Depreciation period: 2 years
  • Acquisition value: 60,000 MAD
  • Depreciation posted as of 30/06/2025: 45,000 MAD

    When posting the disposal, the system generates an additional depreciation adjustment, even though the disposal takes place on the same date as the last depreciation posting.

Has anyone encountered this behavior before?

Is this expected due to the post-split depreciation calculation logic, or could it be a system issue or setup inconsistency?

Please find below the screenshots of the transactions and the related setup :

 

1-Acquisition Transaction : Original Asset

 

Depreciation transaction : Original Asset


Split Transaction : 50% (Split Asset named : FA-Split)

 

Orginal Fixed Asset Balance
 

 

Split fixed asset Balance

 

 

Disposal of fixed assets as scrap: 30/06/2025
 

 

Transaction of disposal :

 

Voucher :

65130000: P&L account value: 7 500 MAD (Correct)
28355000: depreciation Account: 22 500 MAD (correct)
23550000: Acquisition account: 30 000 MAD (correct)


28355000 : depreciation adjustment: 7500 MAD / offset account  61935000: 7500 MAD (Not necessary)

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for your insights!

    Hi Med,
     
    Which fixed asset got disposed? Was it the original or the new asset created for the split?

    Hi Med,

    This may be happening because after splitting the asset, the system considers it as a new acquisition on 30/06/2025. On the same date, you’re also depreciating the asset. As a result, when you later dispose of the asset, the system automatically posts a depreciation adjustment entry to align the values.

    Also, please note that this behavior may depend on the Asset Book configuration, particularly whether the option “Create depreciation adjustment” is set to ON. If it’s enabled, the system may post an automatic adjustment entry during disposal.

    Hello André,
     
    The disposed asset is the new one created from the split. The original fixed asset remains active.

    Best regards,

    Hi Mohitt,

    If the “Create depreciation adjustment” option is disabled, the system doesn’t generate any adjustment entry.

    However, I need to keep this option enabled, as it’s required to automatically create depreciation adjustments in standard fixed asset disposal scenarios.

    Best regards,

    Med
