Posting Acquisition Costs from Insurance Journals

If you post an acquisition cost from a purchase invoice, an FA G/L journal or an FA journal for which you haven’t entered an insurance number in the Insurance No. field on the purchase line or journal line, you can link the fixed asset to an insurance policy by posting the acquisition cost from an insurance journal.

To Post Acquisition Costs from Insurance Journals:

  1. Open the Insurance Journal window.

  2. Fill in a journal line. For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1.

  3. Click Posting, Post to post the journal.

    The entries from an insurance journal are only posted to the insurance coverage ledger.

Note

If the Automatic Insurance Posting field in the FA Setup window is deactivated, posting from an invoice or a journal will create lines in the insurance journal according to your specification in the FA Journal Setup window for the depreciation book. In such case, you should use a template and batch without the document number series specified. This is because the document number from the original invoice or journal line will be copied to the insurance journal lines. These numbers cannot be used in the insurance journal if a document number series has been set up.
