The total cost for a firm to buy an asset. The acquisition cost includes all legal fees, closing costs, or other increases. Likewise, it makes allowances for discounts.
Accum. Depreciation Account:-
This
account hits when you post depreciation for fixed assets in this posting group.
Depreciation Expense Acc.:-
This account can be inserted automatically by the program when you use the(Expense Acc).
1- Calculate Depreciation batch job.
2- Copy Depreciation Book batch job.
3- Insert FA Bal. Account function from the fixed asset G/L journal.
Depreciations Book:- Go to depreciation books-> under setup-> under financial management.
The depreciations books must be set up on the Depreciation Book Card.
To open the Depreciation Book Card, in the Navigation Pane, click Departments, click Administration, click Application Setup, click Financial Management, click Fixed Assets, and then select Depreciation Books.
DEPRECIATION BOOK CARD:-
After the Depreciation
Book is set up, one or more depreciation books are attached to an asset,
to define how depreciation will be handled
for the assets.
The General Tab contains the basic setup fields for the depreciations books:-
Defaults Final Rounding Amount - makes sure that the fixed asset is fully depreciated over the depreciable lifetime.
Default Ending
Book Value - prevents the asset from being fully depreciated.
Disposal Calculation Method - specifies Net or Gross as the method.
Subtract Disc. In Purch. Inv. - displays the line and invoice discount that will post to the account contained in the field Purch. FA Disc. Account in the General Posting Setup window.
Allow Changes in Depr. - indicates that the depreciation fields in the FA Depreciation Books are changeable after you have posted entries.
Allow Depr. Below Zero - indicates that the system will continue calculating periodic depreciation when the Calculate Depreciation batch job continues, even if the book value of the fixed asset is zero or negative.
Allow Correction of Disposal - corrects fixed ledger entries of the type Disposal.
Allow Indexation - adjusts the asset values for general price-level changes. Use this option to calculate the value of fixed assets at replacement costs. Do not finish indexation with FA ledger entries that are posted to the general ledger.
Use FA Ledger Check - requires a confirmation that:
1- Acquisition
cost is the first cost booked as a
debit and that the disposal cost is the last
cost
booked.
2- Depreciable basis has a debit balance,
and that the book value is a debit.
3- Accumulated depreciation, salvage
value, and accumulated sales price
are all credit balances.
Use Same FA and G/L Posting Dates - indicates that both dates must differ if these options are cleared. Enter both dates separately.
Allow more than 360 Depr. - Gives
the possibility for the fiscal
year to consist of more than 360 depreciations days.
Integration Tab:
The Integration Tab specifies entries to integrate with the general ledger. Enter only one depreciation book to the general ledger so that it does not post two times.
If a company wants
to the general ledger integration, use the FA
G/L Journal to record the information. If a
company does not want to use the general ledger integration, use the FA Journal.
Duplication Tab
Use the Duplication
Tab to indicate
duplicate entries in other depreciation books. Duplication is useful when a
company use multiple
depreciation books. When duplication is set up, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 creates the same
entries for all the books. This reduces data entry
time.
The Duplication Tab contains the following
fields.
1-Part of Duplication List - indicates that the depreciation book will be
a part of the duplication list.
2-Use FA Exch. Rate in Duple - indicates whether to use exchange rates when you duplicate entries from one journal
to another.
Defaults
Exchange Rate - specifies the default exchange
rate.
The FA Journal Setup page specifies
the default setup of templates and batches that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 uses to duplicates
lines from one journal to another, when the Calculate Depreciation batch jobs create journal lines,
or when acquisition costs duplicate
in the Insurance Journal.
FA Journals Templates:
There are four journal
templates for Fixed
Assets:
• FA G/L JournaL
• FA Journal
• FA Reclass. Journal
• Insurance Journal
To open the FA Journals Templates, select Departments, click Administration, click Application Setup, click Financial Management, click
Fixed Assets, and then select
