136The issue
The issue is related to depreciation of fixed assests.
If additional acquisition costs incur for a fixed asset from a closed fiscal year, depreciation is calculated from the original acquisition date of the asset when the “Depr. Acq. Cost” field is used.
Expected behavior
If additional acquisition costs for a fixed asset from a closed fiscal year are depreciated, the new acquisition costs can only be depreciated retroactively starting from the beginning of the current fiscal year.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a fixed asset for a closed fiscal year
- Post acquisition costs for the asset in the closed fiscal year
- Post additional acquisition costs in the next open fiscal year and tick the boxes for “Depr. Acquisition Cost” and “Depr. until FA Posting Date”
- Check the depreciation in the posting preview
Additional context
Microsoft Dynamics Business Central v. 27.5.46862.50101
Example for expected behavior (from Learn.Microsoft)
"In 2015, your organization acquired a fixed asset for 60,000. Your organization uses the straight-line life remaining depreciation method over five years. In 2015, when you process the depreciation proposal each month, you calculate 1,000 as the monthly depreciation amount (60,000 ÷ [5 × 12]). In March 2016, you post an additional acquisition for the fixed asset. The amount of the additional acquisition is 12,000. You must treat the additional acquisition as if you posted it on January 1, 2016. Therefore, here's how you calculate the monthly depreciation of 12,000 for the remaining four years: 12,000 ÷ (4 × 12) = 250. The actual depreciation of the additional acquisition can start only in the month when the additional acquisition occurred (March). Therefore, add the depreciation amounts for January and February to the depreciation amount for March."

Actual behavior for the example shown
The monthly depreciation for the additional acquisition of 12,000 is calculated over the entire five-year period: 12,000 ÷ (5 × 12) = 200. When depreciation starts in March, depreciation amounts for 14 months (Januar 2015 - Februar 2016) are added to the depreciation amount for March.
