?It seems NAV 2018 doesn’t handle Credit Memos for Fixed Asset (that we would want to deduct or Dispose I guess).
I checked the code in the posting and it only handles Acquisiton and Maintenance.How would you do a Credit Memo on a FA purchase then?

Samuel,
The answer depends on what you are trying to do with the credit memo, however in most cases, the answer is probably the same – a FA Journal or FA G/L Journal entry. The type of entry (disposal or acquisition) will determine what happens to the asset.

Hi Cynthia?,
We thought about a journal, but the problem was the taxes.
We need to process them via something that handles the taxes like an invoice or a credit memo.——————————

?Hi Kim,
When we do a Purchase credit memo on a fixed asset it errors out saying the Acquisition cost must be positive.——————————

Oh wow, that part, I did not know. So you cannot do a purchase credit memo with a posting type of acquisition cost? That’s bad..

It might be helpful to explain more fully what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to dispose of the item do to a sale or donation? Did you post acquisition costs that now need to be reduced?

?We have grouped assets in one Fixed asset, like IT computers 2019 and post all purchases of computers in there.
But now we need to credit one of the purchases… which doesn’t seem possible.The only other solution I thought of would be to create a customer, make an invoice to sell part of the FA and then do a journal to balance out the Vendor with the dummy Customer.

Are you interfaced to the GL with your fixed assets? Why not do an FA GL journal put the asset on a line with a negative amount and a type of acquisition, put the taxes on another line to the applicable gl account. I just tested this in 2018 and it worked for m.

We have our tax accounts with direct posting disabled, as our Partner told us we should not post directly.
It would affect the year tax reporting at the end of the year.——————————

?Even if I post the tax to the GL, my other part of the FA journal should be the vendor, but it can’t be selected, it says only GL or bank accounts can be selected.

Samuel, I just posted a purchase credit memo to a fixed asset in my 2018 database!
Can you supply some screenshots of your data and the error.
This should be a standard feature that works.

?This is the error I get:
Acquisition Cost must not be negative on 19-01-16 for Fixed Asset No. = FA000041 in Depreciation Book Code = GENERAL.In the FA Posing Type field I only have Acquisition Cost and Maintenance.

If you have a credit memo to reduce the acquisition cost, you can use the purchase credit memo with acquisition as the fixed asset type. However, you cannot use a purchase credit memo to dispose of an asset.
Like stated, you would need to you the appropriate fixed asset journal to do you disposal.

I agree with your answer. Purchase credit memo is general for all purchases. If the FA was posted into the system with a purchase invoice with acquisition as FA type then the purchase credit memo can be used again with acquisition as FA type
In fact I when I create a credit memo that has to do with either sales or purchase entry i will open blank credit memo and copy document, select the relevant invoice into the credit memo and proceed to edit
