    Hi Ludwig,

    Hope you fine,

    i just reversed the entries the user created manually, so the assets status changed to open and issues fixed.

    Thank you

    Hi Ludwig,

    They will sell it, so no need to create new asset.

    Hi Hossam Fathy,

    You don't need to change the status from the database. If you post a new acquisition transaction in a journal the status will automatically change again to open.

    Before doing that discuss with your accounting colleagues whether they don't want to have a new and 'fresh' fixed asset.

    That is because adding new transactions will simply add new lines in the transaction form that you shared above. Well, you already got a number of lines plus corrections there and if you just continue posting things might get really difficult to reconcile for example if one day an auditor asks you explaining him/her those transactions. Wouldn't is be better to start with a new and 'fresh' fixed asset?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    I personally suggest to create a new acquisition from FA acquisition journal instead of doing it from db because it was system standard behavior to change the status to not yet acquired because accumulated depreciation become net amount of zero.

    Right.

    That's something similar to what I was able to replicate in my demo machine.

    In other words, that's a standard behavior.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    one user make some manual entries on this assets, he record negative acquisition then he record 3 depreciation and make the assets net book value zero.
