    If you have a CIP / Fixed Asset in Progress G/L account you could use that as the balancing account in the Fixed Asset G/L Journal. That account will look strange until you get the funding, pay it out, and record the capital asset / liability, but it does allow you to create the asset until then.

      That is the traditional way of how we would record the asset; however, this is a different situation. We would never receive the funding. It has already been expended.

    Ah, but you did spend the money, correct? If you spent the money where was it recorded in your G/L? There is no way to create an unbalanced entry in BC. You could turn off the G/L integration to post acquisition cost, but then your asset balances won’t match the FA subledger.

    It’s an odd situation.

    The funds were spent on our behalf on 1 of our projects.

    I think I would need to treat the asset like a donated item. Debit the Fixed Asset & Credit a Revenue account (i.e. bond revenue) for the total value of the asset. We don’t have the expenses recorded because we did not spend or receive the actual funds.
