Correcting a Fixed Asset Net Book Value

Hello AX Forum,

I'm back with yet another fixed asset question.

Here's the set up:

1. 2 assets needed to be partially disposed.

2. Split the assets - acquisition value and accumulated depreciation.

3. Disposed of the "new" assets utilizing Free Text Invoices.

4. Completed a reconciliation and this appeared to work, depreciated thinking everything was ok.

As it turns out, AX created a JE that decreased the depreciation expense and offset this entry to Accumulated Depreciation. However, when AX created this entry, it's for an amount that is not related to the asset. Below are the details for one of the assets we split:

This is the original asset:

Here is the detail from the Value Models:

The new asset once the split was completed:

Here is the detail from the Value Models for the new asset:

Once we completed the Free Text Invoice, it appeared everything worked. But once depreciation expense was reviewed, it was found, AX created a JE that decreased the depreciation expense and offset to the accumulated depreciaton. This also effected the asset, increasing the asset's NBV.

Here is the JE:

How do I correct the NBV for fixed asset FANU000895? I need to remove $130,849.29 from the asset and I need to correct the accumulated depreciation and the depreciation expense.

I utilized our test database to see if I could add an asset with no life but it would not allow that.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Christine

Thank you Ludwig,

I attempted the depreciation adjustment in our test database and it worked nicely.

However, our test database and production are different. But I will give it a try.

This is the snippet of the exporting JE.

I'm not sure how AX came up with the JE lines for Accumulated Depreciation and Depreciation Expense. 16300-07 / 55213-355-07

RE: Correcting a Fixed Asset Net Book Value

Hi Christine,

In case the NBV is wrong, you can correct it in fixed asset journals.

You can for example post a write down adjustment to your fixed asset.

Alternatively, you can post a transaction with the depreciation adjustment transaction type.

The difference is the transaction type that is shown in your value model / book.

Once you have done that, check your transactions and the value that you see in your fixed asset statement.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Christine,

The journal entry is not readable. Can you share a screenshot with this information?
