Hi Karen,

Ramit suggested to turn on the "One voucher" parameter. I would strongly recommend to first read the next article as this option will be deprecated in the future: docs.microsoft.com/.../one-voucher

If this is an invoice posting, you can use the vendor invoice journal with a breakdown. Otherwise, use an offset account per subledger and single voucher numbers.

Hi Karen,

Is there specific reason not to create one voucher per line with offset account.

As Andre suggested i would also not recommend to use "allow multiple transactions in one voucher" because of accounting impact in various processes.

I suggest to Just simply follow the standard process of entering the lines one at a time.

Hi,

we need enable the GL Parameter- 'Allow multiple transactions within one voucher', and you will be able to split the fixed assets

This issue is by design and Need to enable 'Allow multiple transactions within one voucher' in GL parameter for successful posting of fixed assets.

It is one of the scenarios covered in the documentation here: docs.microsoft.com/.../one-voucher .

Thanks,

Sheela

Hi Karen,

Another option that can completely avoid this issue is making use of the pending vendor invoice form.

There you can allocate an invoice amounts across different lines and assign them to different projects as needed.

Also, if needed you could even allocate costs to projects that reside in other company accounts via the pending vendor invoice form.

To me this looks being the much better joice compared to using GL journals for that purpose.

If you have not used the pending vendor invoice form before, give it a try.

I think its worth the time having a look at it.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hello Karen,

Have you tried and tested the pending vendor invoice form for recording project related transactions?

Does it do the job for you?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Thanks Ludwig, they have decided to do this differently. They will now have one line per project transaction with supplier as offset.

I agree with your thinking. We tried this with vendor invoice journal but faced some issues and I think Pending vendor invoices gives you better functionality e.g. you have line level approval which you don't have on vendor invoice journal.

Thanks for your help.
