Error creating a fixed asset: FA Depreciation Book already exists (Page 5600, BC 27/28)

Hi all,

When I create a fixed asset and fill in the FA Subclass Code on the Fixed Asset Card, I get this error:The record in table FA Depreciation Book already exists. Identification fields and values: FA No.='FA000xx', Depreciation Book Code='XXXX'

AL call stack:
"Fixed Asset Card"(Page 5600).LoadFADepreciationBooks line 4 - Base Application by Microsoft version 28.0.46665.54094
"Fixed Asset Card"(Page 5600).SetDefaultDepreciationBook line 14 - Base Application by Microsoft version 28.0.46665.54094
"Fixed Asset Card"(Page 5600)."FA Subclass Code - OnValidate"(Trigger) line 9 - Base Application by Microsoft version 28.0.46665.54094. If I refresh the page and enter the same subclass again, it goes through without any error.What I have checked so far:
- The same error occurs on Base Application 27.5.46862.53716 and 28.0.46665.54094, with identical line numbers.
- The error occurs when the asset already has a depreciation book line for the book configured as the default depreciation book. Has anyone run into this on BC 27 or 28? I would like to know whether it is a known issue, whether a newer build fixes it, and what you are using as a workaround in the meantime — other than telling users to refresh the page before setting the subclass.

    I have never had this error.

     

    I have just tested on V28.4 without issue.

     

    Kind Regards
