Purchase Order posting issue

Posted on by BS-01051227-0

We are trying to post a PO to a Fixed Asset and we get this error:

Depreciation Book Code must have a value in Purchase Line: Document Type=Order, Document No.=A14867, Line No.=10000. It cannot zero or empty.

We can also see this message:

Type must be equal to 'Item' in Purchase Line: Document Type=Order, Document No. A14867, Line No.=10000. Current value is 'Fixed Asset'.

The Type is Fixed Assets currently as we always choose that when paying to a Fixed Asset.

We've looked at the Fixed Asset Card and it seems to be set up properly. There isn't a column for Depreciation Book Code in the PO card, so we haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of this error.

Any suggestions?

Two way to fix this.

Add the Depreciation Book column manually to the purchase order lines and enter the required value. This requires switching to design mode. (Not the ideal method)

Recommended: Define the Depreciation Book Code directly on the Fixed Asset card, so the system can automatically populate it during purchase. Once you do this you need to delete the PO lines and recreate it.

RockwithNAV,

I can't see a way to answer to you directly, so I hope you see this.

I've been searching for the column for Depreciation Book on the purchase order lines, but haven't been able to find it. I've tried the Personalization function, but that column doesn't appear there.

We always add the Depreciation Book name on all of our Fixed Asset Cards.

To post Fixed Asset, you need to use Purchase Invoice (not Purchase Order).

All related Fixed Asset fields, such as Depreciation Book Code or FA Posting Type, are only available in Purchase Invoice page.

Teddy: We pay directly from the PO using the Post function and have for many years.

Gerardo: I've seen the discussion you sent and this is what I can figure out how to do (highlighted below). I can pull up the Hidden Fields, but that column isn't there that I can find.

Thanks everyone for your help! After we exhausted everything, we decided that there must just be a glitch in the Original Purchase Order. So, we used the Copy Document to copy from the old PO into a new PO and it posted without any problems. Yay!!
