Posted on by 219

Hello

I am going to setup a number on FA, computers, from an ERP to D365. Theses computers have already been put into service and depreciation runs have been performed in the current ERP system. This means I have the amounts for each single computers available. But now I need to figure out what kind of 
information I have to add into D365 and to that in the proper way. Here is one computer and the prerequisites

Purchase date 2021-01-01

Purchase value 6 000 EUR

Straight service life 3 years/36 months

Depreciation 2021-2022 is 4000 EUR

2022-12-31 NBV 2 000

Start date in D365 is 2023-01-01


Can I the acquisition journal add

  1. Acquistion price in one voucher
  2. The already done depreciation in a second voucher to get the NBV correct?
  3. Put 12 months as remaining service life so that the deprecations for 2023 (12 months) 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi Eva,

    Is the start date also the start of your fiscal year? If so, you can use the procedure as outlined below. Otherwise, you would need additional postings between step 2 and 3.

    First of all, you need to have the fixed assets in the system.

    1. Acquistion value
      You can post the acquisition value of the assets by using a fixed asset journal on the end of the old fiscal year. Consider which offset ledger account to use. I mostly used an account for opening balances.
    2. Depreciation value assets
      Then you can post the depreciation value in a new fixed asset journal at the end of the old fiscal year. Ensure you have the correct offset ledger account.
    3. After you completed these steps print some reports and check all values.
    4. Correct settings on the asset books. When posting the acquisition and depreciation journals, the fields like depreciation start date and remaining periods for depreciation are affected! Set the correct (historical) values.
    5. Test if all is really correct by creating a depreciation journal for the first month. Ensure the depreciation amounts are correct.

    Ensure you test this in a non-production environment first.
