Hi,

We have the Non-Deductible VAT as well as the 'Use For Fixed Asset Cost' enabled in VAT Setup.

No dedicated G/L account for Non-deductible VAT is setup, system should therefore post the non-deductible amount to the cost account or in this case the fixed asset in a separate line.

When trying to use the Fixed Asset G/L Journals to post an acquisition to the fixed asset it seems the system can't generate two lines with the same doc. no:

When posting an acquistion as a purchase invoice to a fixed asset with non-deductible VAT there is no issue and the system can generate two lines even with the same doc. no.

Have anyone experienced the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks,

Hi there! Good morning, evening, or afternoon - depending on where you are :) Hope you are well today!

The behavior you’re experiencing is due to the system's design when handling Non-Deductible VAT in Fixed Asset G/L Journals. Unlike purchase invoices, the Fixed Asset G/L Journals do not support generating two lines with the same document number. This limitation arises because the system treats journal entries differently from purchase invoices, where multiple lines with the same document number are allowed.
Here are some potential solutions and workarounds:

Use Purchase Invoices for Acquisitions: Since purchase invoices handle Non-Deductible VAT correctly and allow multiple lines with the same document number, you might consider using this method for fixed asset acquisitions.

Separate Document Numbers: If using Fixed Asset G/L Journals is essential, you could manually assign separate document numbers for the lines. While this requires additional effort, it ensures that the system processes the entries without errors.

Customization: If neither of the above options is feasible, you might explore customizing the system to allow multiple lines with the same document number in Fixed Asset G/L Journals. This would require development work and should be discussed with your Microsoft Dynamics partner.

The issue can be resolved by enabling 'Allow Identical Document No.' for the depreciation book:

Hope this can help someone else out there! :-)
