What is the Difference between Class ID and Accounts Group ID in dynamics GP

  • RE: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS ID AND ACCOUNTS GROUP ID IN FIXED ASSETS

    We at school were given special accounts with a password and said that this way you can get a database of new information from paid sources. But days passed and nothing was added and I decided to use https://businessays.net/samples/company/kfc/ because there is a lot of free material that will be useful to me for education

    Hmm,

    Site ID, I'm not familiar with that as it relates to Fixed Assets. We've got:

    Location (includes State, County and City)

    Physical Location

    Structure

    I don't see a 'site' anywhere. It's not an inventory item, which is what I think of when I hear 'site'.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Hi Zulfi,

    The asset Account Group is an optional component of the Asset Class. See Below:

    Asset-Class.png

    Whenever you assign a Class to an asset, the Account Group comes with it if you have identified one on the Class Setup window. The Account Group can also be assigned, or changed individually, on the face of the General Information window itself. See below:

    Asset-General-Information-Window.png

    Even if the asset inherited its Account Group from the Class ID, you can still change it or set it on the Asset General Information Window. Therefore, including the Account Group with the Class ID is just a more efficient way of assigning Account Groups.

    One peculiarity to note about Account Groups is that once a Group is selected or inherited and the asset is saved, the actual Account Group ID goes away. The account selections are saved, just not the Group ID.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Guido,

    If you need to split the asset cost, etc. over two cost centers you could use either Fixed or Variable allocation accounts. If it's a set percentage, say half and half, you could use fixed allocation accounts. Set the accounts assigned to the item in FA as the allocation accounts and then when you run and post depreciation it will hit two GL accounts.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Guido, you can't have one *asset* split to more than one GL account.  With AA you could theoretically have the entries split to two dimensions but honestly I've had a hard enough time keeping Fixed Assets with AA afloat with just one dimension (no splits)

    You could have two asset suffixes if you want to "split" an asset to two different cost centers.  Each Asset ID + Suffix # is considered a unique asset by GP so that would work.

    Hi, How can I get GP Fixed Assets to split the asset cost over two cost centres? I understand the Class Id can only have one Account Group? What if an asset has to be split between two nominals to reflect the cost distributed between two or more cost centres? Any thoughts?

    Leslie, are you able to setup SITE ID's by CLASS ID?
