Flow Dimension from Fixed Asset master to FA ledger entries and General Ledger entries

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by TA-19031047-0 4
Hi,
 

We identified an issue where dimensions were not assigned to Fixed Assets, and as a result, they did not flow to the Fixed Asset Ledger Entries or the G/L entries.

While it is possible to correct dimensions on G/L entries through available processes, the same flexibility is not available for Fixed Asset Ledger Entries.

To address this, I am considering the following options:


  1.  

    Create a job queue to update missing dimensions on Fixed Asset Ledger Entries by deriving them from the Fixed Asset master records.

  2.  

    Create a similar job queue for G/L entries, even though a manual correction process is already available

I would appreciate your expert opinion on the best approach, particularly regarding feasibility, best practices, and any potential risks or considerations.

    Hello,
    Best practice is: use the standard dimension correction feature for G/L entries, but don’t build a recurring job queue that updates posted Fixed Asset Ledger Entries. Business Central gives you a supported way to correct posted G/L dimensions, but not the same for FA Ledger Entries, so mass-updating FA history from the FA card is really a custom data-fix, not a normal functional process, and it can create inconsistencies in reporting and audit history. So the safer approach is fix the setup/root cause going forward, correct G/L with the standard tool, and only touch FA Ledger Entries with a very controlled one-time custom remediation if absolutely necessary after full testing.
    Regards,

    This can only be done through customization, but you need to consider all generated ledger entries.
    It is recommended to thoroughly test in a test environment before deploying in a production environment.
