Create Fixed Asset from AP Invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello - 

I am wondering if AX 2012 R3 has configuration available to automatically create a fixed asset from an AP invoice journal, without the FA being created ahead of time? Per the link below it appears that you can acquire an asset via AP invoice posting, which I've been able to do in my testing, however, AX does not appear to allow me to create one on-the-fly during the time of AP invoice creation/posting.

If this is not achievable, then so be it, but I am curious as to how generating an AP invoice against the Fixed asset works. Specifically, I'm curious as to how a vendor payment is referenced in this acquisition event...or is this just a means to an end for acquiring the FA outside of the FA module?

    Hello KyleE,

    I guess that the serial number assignment will require a customization unless you do not track the serial number as a financial dimension.

    Best regards,

    Thank you. This works partially. The only issue I'm having in this process is recording the serial number for FA's that require one per our company's policies. It's available on a traditional receipt, but not through this specific creation event.

    Hello KyleE,

    Have you tried using the pending vendor invoice form instead of the invoice journal?

    Through this form you should be able to create a new fixed asset and get it acquired.

    Best regards,

    Those options are set up, however, those settings are specific to purchase orders. I am looking to create a new fixed asset from an invoice journal only. We have been able to acquire a fixed asset not yet acquired via a invoice journal, but are wondering if there's a way to create one as part of that process.

    Hello KyleE,

    In the FA/GL parameters form you have two parameters that might be responsible for this.

    Can you check how they are setup?
