Fixed asset purchase invoice

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 180

Dear All,

I wonder if anyone else has come across this before. 

One of my customers is using the fixed asset module and they are putting on purchase invoices to their assets in Business central. Now they are adding multiple transaction lines to break down what is being acquired to that asset along with the asset, but the description on the transaction line is being overwritten by the posting description on the purchase invoice header once posted to the FA ledger. I cannot see anyway to change that so it shows the transaction line description. Is it possible? Or is it an option to add to the Microsoft ideas section.

    I also wish Business Central had the functionality to easily see the transaction line description for subledgers like Fixed Assets and Inventory rather than being overridden by the posting description.  Having to drill into the entry adds a lot of time when trying to analyze a general ledger account.

    What is the purpose of three lines for one asset? You can have three assets that link to one main asset, depreciate them separately or as one.

    And with 'find entries' you can always find the original purchase invoice to detail the total amount.

    Yes a developer can make the change but I suggest saving your money and using standard BC for this one, just show your user how to easily get to the details or enter just one line on the invoice.

    This is the way standard works. In Purchase&Payables Setup You can try experiment with different Posting Description Code (create a new one etc), but normally from the FA ledger entries You can easily Navigate to the posted Purchase Invoice and see the details.

    And of course as Rahul suggested - developer can adjust this quite easily (I think).

    Hi Kelly - A developer can assist you get your required descriptions on the FA ledger, else you can also raise this on MS Ideas
