If we have a fixed asset that is used by 2 different departments, is it possible to tell NAVto code 50% of the depreciation to department 100 and 50% to department 200?

Short of manually changing the FA G/L Journal prior to posting or creating a manual journal entry, you might try setting up individual component fixed assets as part of a main asset.  each of the components could then have their own department.

I agree with Dave, split your asset into two individual asset (these are component assets). Setup a Main asset that you link your two individual/components to. Make sure the depreciation book allows for depreciation of component assets and set your dimensions on each of the components. This should work well.

The only other option would be a recurring journal that reclasses 50% of the depreciation from one dimension set to another. If depreciation is straightline, this is easy…otherwise, you have to edit each month.

By accessing the FA Posting Groups, Allocations, Depreciation you are able to allocate percentages across any of your dimensions.

Tammy’s solution is the right solution. There’s no manual work involved other than the setup.

If you only need to allocate for one asset, Tammy’s solution means that you have to put this asset in its own FA posting group. This isn’t a bad move but for reconcile fa posting groups to your GL accounts, you will have to sum the two posting groups. It also means that for every combination of allocation, you need its own FA posting group.

So consider the extent of your allocation combinations, your reconciliation and decide on use of FA posting group allocations or component assets. Either one will work.

I’m not sure about the posting to multiple departments but why not set up a recurring entry that will move half to the other department?  Its a workaround.
