(EEUR) Post the pre-acquisition and acquisition of a fixed asset

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2

Use the following procedures to create and post pre-acquisitions and acquisitions.

A pre-acquisition of a fixed asset is not depreciable, and it does not affect the acquisition costs and the net book value of the fixed asset. When you post a pre-acquisition, the status of the fixed asset changes to Acquired. A fixed asset that has the Acquired status is not depreciable. When you post an acquisition, the status changes to Open, and the fixed asset is depreciable.

To post pre-acquisitions, verify the following prerequisites:

  • Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters. In the Fixed assets area, verify that the Allow pre-acquisitions check box is selected.

  • Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed asset posting profiles. Verify that a posting profile is set up for the Pre-Acquisition posting type.
