Fixed Asset Posting Layer "None"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi Guys,

 We have a requirement to create transactions for Fixed Assets which record depreciation for current layer AND different depreciation for Tax. For the tax depreciation we are currently evaluating whether to post to layer "TAX" or layer "NONE". If the transactions go to layer "NONE" it is easy to extract the trial balance by just selecting the layer "TAX". The negative is that for certain transactions you have to post as a separate journal. Cannot be achieved via derived books mechanism. My question is if we decide to post to layer "None" has anyone done the same and if so how do they extract the relevant transactions from the system?

Cheers Simon

    Hello Simon,

    Are the depreciation amounts identical that you post for the Tax and None layers?

    If they are, why do you need two layers?

    If they are not then you run a first depreciation proposal for the tax layer and a second one for the None layer.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Simon,

    Multilayer accounting is complex as we all know.

    What I understand from your requirements is what if you use “None” layer to post transactions.

    Yes, I have done implementation with same scenario.

    What I had done was user posted acquisition and disposal using derived book setup and depreciation will be posted using separate journals specific to each layer.

    As depression posted using layer “None” there is no impact on General Ledger.

    So at the end of specific period user have to run a report called “Fixed Assets Book compare” reports to identify the difference of transactions posted using “current” layer which was posted in General Ledger and “None” layer which wasn’t posted in GL.

    So now user will pass entry of different value in general journal or FA Journal with TAX layer.

    This will provide TB as required. (Run using Current + TAX)

    Let me know it works for you.

    Thanks,
