Fixed Asset from Purchase Order with a Project ID

Posted on by Community Member

I'm currently trying to process fixed assets so that the asset is tagged with a project ID at the creation stage. I assumed the best way to do this would be to aquire assets from a PO and check the 'create fixed assets' checkbox as required. This works fine as a standard PO. However, as soon as you add a project Id to the PO the checkbox becomes grayed out.

Is there any additional setup required on the Project side of things which would enable this to work or does this functionality not exist?

This has been covered previously in the link below but no answers were given.

Hi Bruce,

Your requirement is not supported out of the box. If you use a project ID, the costs will be posted to a project, not to the fixed asset, so this is the reason why it is greyed out. If you use an investment project you can capitalize costs and later move it as acquisition value to a fixed asset.

Thanks for this Andre.

I got round the problem by changing one of the fields we were not using AssetTable.Reference to ProjectID. This can then be manually input when creating the asset, a work around which we're okay with, then when reporting from the GL the relationship between the asset and the GL can be used to bring through the 'Project ID'.

Thanks again,

Bruce
