How to: Split Up Fixed Assets

If you have posted an acquisition cost for one asset, you can use the FA reclassification journal to split the acquisition cost among several assets.

For example, you can move 25 percent of the acquisition cost and depreciation for an asset to another asset and 45 percent to a third asset. The remaining 30 percent will remain on the original asset.

To split up fixed assets

  1. In the Search box, enter FA Reclass Journals, and then chose the related link.

  2. Fill in two journal lines, one for each asset that you want to move costs to.

  3. On the Actions tab, choose Reclassify.

  4. Close the window.

  5. In the Search box, enter FA G/L Journals, and then chose the related link to see the lines created by Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You must enter balancing accounts in the FA G/L journal before you can post the journal.

  6. On the Home tab, choose Post to post the lines.

Note

If you want to move acquisition cost and depreciation to new assets, you must set up fixed asset cards before you begin to reclassify the assets.
