Depreciation Batch Adjustment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JenniferLynn 12

Hi,

I have started a position at a company as their accountant and am not familiar with Dynamics Nav software.

I am trying to calculate and post depreciation for March 2019 month end.

I went to “Calculate Depreciation” and entered in the posting date (Mar 31, 2019), document number, posting description and checked off insert account balance.

A small box comes up that quickly runs through all of the fixed assets so it seems that it is calculating the depreciation.

My understanding is that a box should then appear asking if I want to open the general journal.

I do not get this box and if I open the FA G/L journal, there is nothing in there. There is also nothing in the FA journal or posted in the GL.

I looked through the GL and the last posting date for depreciation was for Feb 28, 2019 so I am not sure why it is not adding the depreciation calculated to the GL journal.

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Jennifer,

    Go to Depreciation Book page and click the FA Journal Setup on the ribbon.

    When running the depreciation calculation, NAV will create the journals on the Template and Batch specified in the FA Journal Setup.

    In standard NAV, there will be no box appear asking to open the journal. You need to go FA G/L Journal or FA Journal manually. Make sure you select the batch that is mentioned in FA Journal Setup.

    Navision calculates depreciation from the last FA entry for an Asset. This is a control to stop multiple deprecation entries for the same period. If there is an FA Ledger entry dated after the period trying to calculation depreciation, it will not populate any amounts.

    With the way Navision calculates depreciation on fixed assets, the system calculates a net book value by taking acquisition cost - all depreciation - writedowns +- any other adjustments to arrive at a remaining depreciable basis. So, please check for this and also let us know if the issue still persists.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I solved the issue. It seems that the journal entry was under general journals with the batch name "Depreciation" rather than under the FA G/L journal or FA journal.

    Thanks again for your help!
