Hello,
Now I'm uploading Fixed Assets Aquisition Cost & depreciation from Configuration Package to FA Journal.
This Error appears:

"FA Posting Type Acquisition Cost must be posted in the general journal in FA Journal Line Journal Template Name='OPEN BALAN',Journal Batch Name='OPN',Line No.='1000'."

hi

· Acquisition Cost → General Journal (or FA G/L Journal)

Use the General Journal (Journal Template = GENERAL, or your equivalent).

This ensures both FA Ledger entries and G/L entries are created.

· Accumulated Depreciation → FA Journal

Use the FA Journal (Journal Template = OPEN BALAN or whatever you created).

This only updates the FA Ledger with the accumulated depreciation without creating G/L entries.

· Post in correct order

First, post the Acquisition Cost from the General Journal.

Then, post the Depreciation from the FA Journal.

This error can happen if there is a mismatch between the G/L Integration settings for your depreciation book and the fixed asset journal you're using. If you're using the Fixed Asset Journal, not the Fixed Asset G/L Journal then ensure G/L Integration is turned off in the depreciation book.

Does this issue occur when you manually add details and post them on the BC page?
If not, export the details and compare them with the ones you imported from the Configuration Package to identify any issues.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

Hello,

If you are posting from Fixed Asset Journal, then you will need to ensure the Company Book you are using have the G/L Integration turned off in Depreciation Book.

Hi

The error occurs when trying to post to a journal where the template is not correct or that journal type does not exist. To avoid the error, ensure that the acquisition cost is posting in the correct lines of the general journal which are using the configured journal template and batch. This is a limitation of the ways Fixed Assets posts within Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Thanks

Nimsara
