Posted on by Samkh

Hi,

I am trying to buy a fixed assets through a PO generated from within the project.However, when I try to change 'New fixed assets' to yes , it doesn't allow me.

if it is a regular PO then it works.

the cost is beyond the asset threshold.

Thanks

RE: Fixed assets on project PO

your business scenario (charging out fixed assets and tracking their P&L including depreciation is a fairly common one.

There are several Dynamics add-on for EAM (enterprise asset management) that deal with the accounting around it.

The one that I have seen "linked" the fixed asset module to the project module where you have 1-1 relationship between a fixed asset to a project (both representing 1 piece of equipment), and this link allows to flow depreciation (as well as other costs) into the project entity

Hello Sam,

This allocation of the FA depreciation to a project requires a system modification. If you use a financial project dimension you could possibly achieve this with the help of MS Flow but I am not sure about that and you would have to test this out.

Best regards,

Thanks for the feedback!

The business would like to allocate the fixed assets depreciation cost to a project and bill the client the cost on a monthly basis as part of additional services.

I see that D365 is working as designed

I wanted to make I haven't miss anything.

Thanks again

Hello Sam,

If you work with investment type projects than you first purchase some goods/services and consume them for your project. When the project is ended you can then shift all costs to a new fixed asset.

What you try to works only for POs that do not have a project relationship.

Best regards,

Ludwig

I think what you are trying to do is self contradictory from a business scenario perspective, and cannot be done in Dynamics.

A) Purchase order into a project: ability to consume material and services into project cost (and possibly later re-sell them)

B) Purchase of fixed asset: procure a fixed asset that remains in the possession of the legal entity.

A contradicts B - you cannot "consume" something (use it) and at the same time record it as your asset, so I am not surprised Dynamics does not allow you that.

Maybe explain more what is the business scenario/requirement you are trying to achieve?

Hello Sam, you need a right user role for that matter. If you have sa or system administrator > security roles. explore it.
