Problem with the calculation of depreciation with a defined allocation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AntonioKD 394

Hello everyone ! 

Seems to have identified a functional bug in BC Cloud 19.3.

The situation is as follows:
-I have a fixed asset with 3 default dimensions
-the fixed asset was acquired on 10/01/2022
- the date of the beginning of depreciation is 02/01/2022
- the depreciation account of this FA has 10 mandatory dimensions
- for the FA accounting group an allocation is defined in the proportion of 80/20 to one of the dimensions

When I try to calculate depreciation (insert lines to the journal) system shows the error due to the dimensions on the allocation. Is it correct in your opinion? Shouldn't it allow you to create lines in the journal and only get a due error when you post?

I will just add that removing the allocation - the error does not occur. Do you think it works properly?

    At this point, I have this set up. I have mandatory dimensions on G/L Account which is used for depreciation. On Fixed Asset I have 3 default dimension. Anyway, it checks the dimensions when creating the lines and throws an error that they are missing, so I have no chance to enter these dimensions before posting because I will not create the lines.

    And here it seems inappropriate to me.

    So the mandatory dimensions are on the fixed assets or on the general ledger accounts? If you move the mandatory setting to general ledger accounts, the testing may happen at posting not at creating the lines.

    Its worth a try.

    I thought that the remaining 7 required dimensions, I would be able to fill in already on the journal before posting. I was wrong?

    I am only wondering that if I remove the allocation (80/20) for the depreciation account (I do not remove the mandatory of the dimensions in this account), the lines are created - only when there is an allocation, it checks the mandatory of the dimensions before creating the lines in the journal.

    Depreciation Calculation does more checks during the calculation process rather than waiting until posting.

    So your depreciation account requires 10 dimensions but only 3 come from the asset? Where do the other 7 dimensions come from?
