    Hi AXERP,

    You need to have:

    AssetTable

    AssetBook  (1 or more per Asset)

    perhaps also

    AssetDepBook (1 or more per Asset)

    AssetLocation

    This depends on the information you need to use.

    Hi AXERP,

    The best way is to use a fixed asset journal (or general journal) to create the opening balances for acquisition, depreciation and other possible revaluations.

    The general journal service was not suitable in AX2012 to enter transactions on subledgers. I haven't checked if this is improved in AX2012 R2. Which version are you exactly using?

    Thanks Andre ,

    Version : AX 2012 R2 . I have checked  in R2 , FA opening journal service was not suitable in AX2012 R2.

    We have the assets almost 500- 700 , for these assets need to import the acquisition and depreciation entries .

    Could you share me the best method which you prefer to import the entries ?

    Hi AXERP,

    About a year ago, I managed to import it with the help of DMF. We used the first beta release and had to fix things to make it work for this customer.

    I have not yet had the opportunity to check it again with the latest version of DIEF, but the base entity is: "Opening balance". This is an entity to import all Ledger journal related entries.

    Hi Andre,

    AX version : AX 2012 R2.

    I have tried as you mentioned  Using Opening balances in DIEF but

    LedgerDimension: "Main Account"

    DefaultDimension: "Business Unit-Department-Cost centre".

    but when i import the dimensions are not updating in the general journal along with the account ,just it is updating accounts only.

    What would be the problem ?

    and if i take the format ledger dimension  in the following way in the CSV file  

    Leder Dimension :  main account number>-<CostCenter string>-<Department string,

    in above format system is  throwing the error to import the data .

    Financial dimension 0 does not exist.

    Could you help me how to resolve the problem ?

    Hi AXERP,

    Please ask your questions per topic in a separate threads. The subject now changes as you are talking about Main accouts and not Assets. Also you asked the question twice. Should I answer twice as well?

    For the error you mention, there is another thread stating it might be a standard bug.
