FA opening balances

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by David Tailor 822

Hello,

does any one have an idea on how to import Fixed Assets opening balances in case we need to keep history in FA cards.

What is required: we need to import all opening G/L balances including those related to FA (using direct posting for FA accounts only).

After, we need to import FA history balances to match the FA balances above.

This is possible in Business Central, by removing integration to G/L.

Is it possible in D365 Finance to do the same?

Note: In Books -> Depreciation  -> there is a setting Post to G/L that you can deactivate and this is a global setting; once deactivated and you post transactions you cannot activated again.

kindly advise if there is a workaround.

Regards,

David

    Hi David,

    You can import fixed asset opening balance and depreciation via Data management either import to General Journal or Fixed asset journal.

    Please try and give us feedback If you need assistance.

    Hi David,

    What is commonly done is not removing the GL integration but to exclude the ledger accounts from the GL ledger balance transfer that you do from your previous system.

    That is because the fixed asset related opening balance transactions automatically come from the fixed asset subledger.

    Wouldn't that be an easier option?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
