Josh,
On the Fixed Asset card, the Acquired field will only change from No to Yes, when you post a transaction with an FA Posting Type = Acquisition Cost. You will see the FA Posting Type on the Fixed Asset G/L Journal (when integrating to the G/L), FA Journal (when not integrating). When using the Purchase Invoice, choosing a Fixed Asset Type always defaults to FA Posting Type = Acquisition Cost.
I will be doing a Fixed Asset You Tube video in a few weeks on Transactions. Watch for it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
