Hello everyone,

Having this message while trying to post invoice in previous month, January for FA that has depreciation starting from February, next month.

Normally it works for all other FA.

Thanks Shauna,

That's right. 2 Lines per ANL was the issue.

Best regards.

Hi,

This is one of these strange issues that I cannot replicate. I set my depreciation book to be the same as yours and created a purchase invoice to post the cost to the asset.

I ticked the same option as you and my invoice posted successfully as I also tried to post back in January.

So I got a developer to check the code and it seems that this message appears when there is other costs on a purchase invoice for the same asset.

See example purchase invoice below.

When I try to post this then I get the same error.

So, the examples I was trying before only had the one line on the purchase invoice and it posted through ok. Does your purchase invoice have more than one line for the same asset?

Thanks,

Shauna

Hello Jun,

My understanding is you need to post the first invoice to acquire the fixed asset.

That's exactly what we're looking for. Normally it happens without any issues, but this time there's an error message & we cannot post the 1st invoice to ANL.

Looks like BC doesn't allow you to choose the checkbox for the below reason

My understanding is you need to post the first invoice to acquire the fixed asset. That box is used to revaluate the FA based on subsequent change in FA value. There is an example from the link.

Thank you so much Shauna.

Here it is.

I have mentioned that I can't post to ANL that is not yet acquired.

TO an acquired ANL's system does allow to post.

But we never do acquisition part manually. Just create an ANL and post there invoices, the acquisition happens automatically.

Also I tried and couldn't acquire the ANL in advance as it has 0 book value...

Hi,

Are you able to send a screen shot of your depreciation book? General tab should be enough.

Thanks,

Thanks for your help. I moved on previous error by adding the column 'Depreciation until FA Posting Date' to Purchase invoice setup.

But still not able to post due to restriction below. It says for all Fixed Asset type of entry in Purchase invoice it must stay yes. Basically cannot untick the box.

I did try your same example and it worked for me. I have the following in my depreciation book, do you have anything different?

Purchase invoice was setup as follows:
