Fixed Asset Posting Groups -- Dimension Dependency

Hi:

The end user has two dimension expense accounts -- one for each of her two dimensions.

So, depreciation expense is "dimension dependent" rather than asset dependent.

Since there is a one to one relationship between the asset and the dimension, the simplest configuration would be to simply create two separate Fixed Asset Posting Groups. Each group would represent a dimension and be tied to each asset.

Are there any other options?

Thanks!

John

Hi, we once developed a tool for a client. Because they had a situation where one fixed asset was used by two departments, the depreciation needed to be apportioned to both departments. The department used Dimension Management.

This is a little more complicated.

I think this is the easiest thing to do if finance allows the creation of separate fixed assets.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

The whole purpose of dimensions is not to have multiple expense accounts. The only way to get your transactions posted to different general ledger accounts is with fixed asset posting groups. So each asset will have a posting group and dimension. You set it up once per asset and it's done.
