    Hi,

    can you let us know whether your question is related to D365FO or AX?

    Can you also provide some illustrative screenprints?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hi Rohith,

    You can try the following:

    Add a new book to your fixed asset that has a different depreciation method assigned.

    Then go to the book that you want to change.

    Select split fixed asset.

    Select the same fixed asset but a different book.

    Select 100% and then a journal for posting.

    Open the journal created, double check the amounts and post it.

    This should do the job.

    Note: Please test carefully in a demo/test environment first.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you.

    So in this case system can reversing the acquisition and depreciation in Old Book and recreate the new transactions in New Book as per the journals system cerated.

    when i try to posting system throwing error like. "Depreciation amounts with a date later than adjustment date of 10/31/2019 exist. After verifying the depreciation amounts, you might need to reverse the depreciation and recalculate the depreciation"

    Can you please advise if we required to reverse the depreciation for Old Book first before split the FA

    Hi Rohith,

    It looks as if you have recorded depreciation amounts at a day that is ahead of the day where you want to split the fixed asset and do the book transfer.

    Can you try posting this split on 01 November 2019?

    Then there should be no problem.

    If you want to do the book change on a date earlier than 31 October 2019 then better reverse the last depreciation amounts recorded.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
