Fixing Incorrect Fixed Asset Postings in Business Central

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 11

Hi,

I need help correcting some mistakes in Fixed Asset postings in Business Central:

Case 1:
I mistakenly posted two Purchase Invoices (PI-1: 100 and PI-2: 50) against the same Fixed Asset as Acquisition.

  • PI-1 should be posted against Fixed Asset 1.
  • PI-2 should be posted against Fixed Asset 2.
    Both are currently posted to Fixed Asset 1, resulting in an acquisition cost of 150.

To fix this, I tried using the Fixed Asset - G/L Journal:

  • Created 2 lines using a "support account" as a balancing account.
  • Set the Fixed Asset Posting Type to "Acquisition" for both lines.
  • Used "Negative" for Fixed Asset 1.

However, I receive an error saying "Acquisition cannot be negative." How can I correct this?

Case 2:
I mistakenly posted something as "Acquisition" when it should have been posted as a "Maintenance" cost. How do I fix this?

Case 3:
I posted something as "Maintenance" against the wrong Fixed Asset. How can I correct this?

Any guidance on the best practices for resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, in addition to Fixed Asset Reclassification Journals, you can try Purchase Credit Memo to cancel the Purchase Invoice.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    For case 1, you can use the Fixed Asset Reclassification Journals to transfer the acquisition cost to the correct fixed asset - Reclassify fixed assets - Business Central | Microsoft Learn
     
    For case 2 and 3, you can use the cancel FA entries function and then post the correct entries again - Dynamics 365 Business Central – How to cancel a full month of Depreciation in the Fixed Assets module
