    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

    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

    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.

    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
