Hi All,

In Fixed Assets I don't see any posting types and do not have an option to create either

This is the company Book

Fixed Asset Posting Types Missing

Bumping this. The purpose of adding additional posting types would be useful to come up with some type of reporting function that can track fixed asset additions by cash flow category (Asset Acquisitions, Business Combinations, Capex, Impairment, etc.). Curious if there's any update on the ability to add/customize fields in the fixed asset posting type section of BC

RE: Fixed Asset Posting Types Missing

Hi Anita,

Oh, sorry, now I understand.

Yes, the "FA Posting Type Setup" only gts created when you create the "Deprecaiton Book".

Without the Depreciation Book you don't need any other information for fixed assets.

In TAB 5611 - Depreciation Book

======================

OnInsert()

WITH FAPostingTypeSetup DO BEGIN

"Depreciation Book Code" := Code;

"FA Posting Type" := "FA Posting Type"::Appreciation;

"Part of Book Value" := TRUE;

"Part of Depreciable Basis" := TRUE;

"Include in Depr. Calculation" := TRUE;

"Include in Gain/Loss Calc." := FALSE;

"Depreciation Type" := FALSE;

"Acquisition Type" := TRUE;

Sign := Sign::Debit;

INSERT;

"FA Posting Type" := "FA Posting Type"::"Write-Down";

"Part of Depreciable Basis" := FALSE;

"Include in Gain/Loss Calc." := TRUE;

"Depreciation Type" := TRUE;

"Acquisition Type" := FALSE;

Sign := Sign::Credit;

INSERT;

"FA Posting Type" := "FA Posting Type"::"Custom 1";

INSERT;

"FA Posting Type" := "FA Posting Type"::"Custom 2";

INSERT;

END;

RE: Fixed Asset Posting Types Missing

I think there is a confusion here. .I don't see ANY posting types ..and looks like no one checked the screenshot :) ..so by default when I created a new BC company I cannot see posting types at all just like in the first screenshot..so I did further testing by creating a NEW depreciation book. After creating a new book posting types now appear. So it seems there is a bug where default COMPANY book doesn't have posting types when a new BC company is created

Anita75,

Morning All. I read Dirk's reply and would concur. Why do you need to add more. What Type are you trying to insert? I realized it should be mentioned that FA Posting Type is predefined when you setup a Depreciation Book. BC will only allow you to change the values already presented in the FA Posting Type Setup page. Here is an excerpt from the manual:

I still refer back to Dirk's question, why do you want to add more? You should have everything setup within FA Posting Type Setup. Can you elaborate?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello,

Yes, it's correct that you cannot add more "FA Posting Type Setup" records in NAV/BC Standard.

I don't recall we had this question before / that someone mentioned the need of having more.

hat exactly do you need?

What kind of FA transaction do you need to register and how do you need to see the results?

I mean ... we have eight FA Posting Types which should cover the different types for FA transactions.

For Depreciation we have various Depreciation Methods and some additional parameters in the Depreciation Book, like rounding, No. of Days per Fiscal Year, etc.

For Disposal we have two different Disposal Calculation Methods.

For four of these "FA Posting Types" (Write Down, Appreciation, Custom 1 and Custom 2) we have this flexible setup which influences calculations (and the way entries of these types are shown on reports and statistics.

The only record in "FA Posting Type Setup" where I recall the need for changes of the default settings is the one for type = "Appreciation".

For some countries (at least Austria, Germany, Switzerland) users need to pay special attention about the setting in field "Acquisition Type". For the "FA Book Value" reports it might be necessary to have this parameter set to false in order for Appreciation to be shown in a separate column of the report, and not as part of the Acquisition Costs.

This kind of flexible setup is usually not needed for Acquisitions, Depreciation, Disposal and Maintenance.

If we assume we talk about common scenarios in FA we should be able to find a way to manage these scenarios

Thanks Steve .. I have the same screen as shown but how do I add a new line? There is no option to add new entry only to edit existing ones

Anita75,

To create FA Posting Types you access this from Fixed Asset Setup page. Search for Fixed Asset Setup. In the Action bar, click Related/Posting/FA Posting Type Setup. Here you can setup types. Below is a few screen shots.

After you have set them up, you can see them via the Depreciation Book page.

Thank you,

Steve
