FA Posting Type Acquisition Cost must be posted in the FA journal in Gen

Business Central enforces that "FA Posting Type = Acquisition Cost" must be posted through the FA Journal, not the FA G/L Journal, when:

The Depreciation Book used is not integrated with the G/L (i.e., Integration → G/L = No on the Depreciation Book Card).

OR

The posting setup is designed to separate FA Ledger entries from G/L for Acquisitions, which is typically handled by the FA Journal.

This behavior is by design, not a bug.

---

✅ Solution:

Check the Depreciation Book you're using:

1. Go to Depreciation Book (Search it).

2. Open the Depreciation Book you're using (e.g., COMPANY).

3. Make sure that "Integration → G/L" = Yes if you're planning to post through FA G/L Journal.

4. If "Integration → G/L" = No, then you must use FA Journal for Acquisition Cost entries.

So:

✔ Use FA G/L Journal only when Integration to G/L = Yes

✔ Use FA Journal when Integration to G/L = No

Hi,

This error usually appears because you're trying to post depreciation using the FA General Journal, but your depreciation book is set up to post G/L entries.

To handle depreciation correctly, you should use the Fixed Asset G/L Journal instead. That journal is designed for posting depreciation when the depreciation book is linked to the general ledger.

Yes I am trying to post acquisition cost on the FA g/l Journal and its returning error pointing to the FA journal template instead of general journal. I am not sure why it does not allow acquisition on the GL journal, it should allow both

Hello,

To posting depreciation on a fixed asset you should use the Fixed Asset G/L Journal.

The error is due to trying to post a depreciation in the FA general journal, but the depreciation book is configured to make G/L entries, and the journal described above should be used for this purpose.

I hope I can help.

Regards,

Andres
