GP 2016- Fixed Assets module vs. GL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi all, 

Can someone explain to me the workings of the FA module versus the FA GL? I can't find an explanation on how the FA module works. I inherited a mess of a Fixed Assets listing and there has been large difference of the assets listed in the FA module (1 mil +) compared to the TB/GL listing. I'm trying to figure out how to reconcile them and not have 2 different reports on what is within our Fixed Assets. Thanks so much!

    Thanks, Andrea for sharing this info.

    Is that possible can share the SQL Script for FA Reconcile to GL?

    Regards,

    Syed

    Hello Carp2011,

    I have attached a great Fixed Assets Module pdf document for you here. Chapter 14 specifically talks about how Fixed Assets transactions can be integrated to General Ledger.

    FixedAssets.pdf

    Here’s a very quick overview around how posting to/integrating with GL works in Fixed Assets:

    1. When users process transactions in Fixed Assets (Additions, Depreciation, Transfers, Retirements, etc.), those transactions are stored in the FA00902 (Fixed Assets Financial Detail) table. They are not automatically posted to GL.
    2. Users can post to/integrate Fixed Assets transactions to General Ledger using the Fixed Assets General Ledger Posting Routine (Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Routines >> Fixed Assets >> GL Posting).
    3. You can find the Book ID that’s being interfaced with GL by looking at which Book ID is assigned as the ‘Corporate’ book in the Fixed Assets Company Setup (Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Setup >> Fixed Assets >> Company).

    There is a great report called the Fixed Assets to General Ledger Reconciliation report that will show you if there are Fixed Assets transactions that have not been interfaced/posted to GL. This is the report we’d recommend you start with when it comes to reconciling Fixed Assets amounts to GL. You can print that report by clicking on Reports >> Fixed Assets >> Activity >> click on the drop down and select Fixed Assets to General Ledger Reconciliation >> New (and add your report options from there).

    Additionally, a while back we created a nice SQL View (that you can use to create a smart list with smart list designer) that will show you what has and has not been interfaced/posted to GL from Fixed Assets. Here’s a link to a great blog that talks about using SQL Views to create a smart list. You can download the Fixed Assets Interface view from the word document attached to that blog:

    I hope this helps!
