FA acquisition

Good day!

D365 FO, I have stepped next process: PO with lines which are stackable and tracked in inventory with Item group linked with Capex accounts (CWIP). I create FA in advance and in PO link all lines with this FA number. I post GRN and Invoice (in FA parameters acquisition through invoice is turned off). So after that I have this Items in my inventory and FA which status Not yet acquired. After that I launch Acquisition proposal function for this FA and system creates FA journal which take costs from all PO lines and put them on this FA. After I post this journal, FA is acquired and items consumed from stock.

This worked, but recently system stoped to consume items from stock. I want to understand why.

Thank you!

Parameter change in Fixed Asset posting setup and Item group or FA group mapping changed in Inventory management > Setup > Posting > Posting

Go to Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters > Inventory tab.

Check Create fixed asset from inventory and Allow consumption from inventory.

If Consume items upon acquisition is not enabled, the acquisition journal will not generate the issue transactions for inventory.

I hope this can help

Thanks

Hi,

Why It Might Have Stopped Working
Even if nothing was changed intentionally, updates or indirect changes could affect behaviour:
1. System Updates or Hotfixes

A recent D365 FO version update (e.g., 10.0.44 or later) may have altered how inventory is consumed during FA acquisition.

Some updates introduce new logic or validations that could block inventory transactions.

2. Posting Profile or Item Group Changes

Someone may have modified posting profiles or item group settings (e.g., CWIP accounts, inventory issue accounts).

These changes can silently affect inventory consumption.

3. Item Model Group Adjustments

If ledger integration or inventory posting settings were changed, it could prevent inventory reduction.

4. FA Journal Type or Parameters

If the FA journal type or transaction type was changed (e.g., from “Acquisition” to “Manual”), inventory might not be linked.

Also, check if FA parameters were updated to allow/disallow acquisition from invoice or PO.

5. Inventory Reservation or Status

Items might be reserved, blocked, or already consumed in another process.

Check inventory transactions for the affected items.

Next Steps to Troubleshoot

Compare a working vs. non-working scenario:

Use a test PO and FA with the same setup as before.

Check inventory transactions after posting the FA journal.

Review recent system updates or hotfixes:

Ask your admin or IT team if any updates were applied recently.

Audit configuration changes:

Posting profiles, item model groups, FA parameters, and journal setups.

Check inventory transactions:

Go to Inventory > Transactions for the item and see if any consumption entries are missing or blocked.

Hi,

Can you explain what you mean by "stopped to consume items from stock"? Do you get an error message? Is the acquisition proposal listing the new asset with a zero value or is the line not created? Have you checked if the cost price of the items are posted towards the fixed asset?

Dear @André Arnaud de Calavon

I mean that for some FA acquisition journal during posting also consume linked inventory. For some not.

We made some investigation and it looks like FA acquisition journal consume inventory, but only one line. If for example in PO you linked several PO lines with one FA then system will consume only one of this lines during acquisition, others will stay in inventory.

We trying to understand if we selected correct approach and should fix this issue by customisation or we doing something wrong and our process is not correct.

We know that we can use Inventory to FA journal but that brings more complexity and again I don't understand for what to go there if system already have information about all linked inventory and also I see that system can consume inventory through Fixed asset acquisition journal.

Hi,

In case the behavior before was correct and now it only takes the first PO line, was there an update of Dynamics 365 deployed that can have changed the behavior?

Nope there were no changes from MS and no customisations on our side. The thing is that it looks like standard system behaviour, I just do not understand why it so. Why in 1 PO line 1FA case system consume inventory through acquisition journal and in case 2 and more PO lines to 1 FA system do nothing. It looks like incorrect design or we need to turn on some parameters.

Hi,

When I understand it correctly, it always takes one line from the POs? Or is it not working at all for assets with multiple lines?

In case it always takes one line, then this can be by design. I haven't seen your scenario before, apart from capitalizing the invoices (and hours and expenses) on an investment project first. That will probably be too cumbersome for your scenario.

You can ask a developer to check the acquisition proposal code and see if it can be extended or maybe duplicated and changed to meet your requirement.
