Specifies which checks to perform before posting a journal line.

You can modify this field if the Use FA Ledger Check field is blank, and the Allow Changes in Depr. Fields field is selected in the Depreciation Book Card window for the depreciation book. In that case, you can set the value in this field differently for different FA depreciation books.

Warning
If you remove the check mark in the Use FA Ledger Check field, the result can be inconsistent depreciation for the fixed asset. Alternatively, you can create separate depreciation books if you must depreciate certain fixed assets in a way that makes the FA ledger checks irrelevant for you.

Additional Information

A check mark in the field forces Microsoft Dynamics NAV to check the following:

  • Acquisition cost is the first entry (FA posting date is used).
  • Acquisition cost is entered as a debit.
  • Disposal (if any) is the last entry (FA posting date is used).
  • Depreciable basis has a debit balance.
  • Book value has a debit balance unless there is a check mark in the Allow Depr. below Zero field in the depreciation book.
  • Accumulated depreciation, accumulated salvage value, and accumulated sales price have credit balances.
  • Write-down, appreciation, custom 1, and custom 2 entries match the setting in the Sign field in the FA Posting Type Setup window.

If this field is blank, Microsoft Dynamics NAV only checks the following:

  • Acquisition cost is the first entry (FA posting date is used).
  • Disposal (if any) is the last entry (FA posting date is used).

For example, if you remove the check mark in the Use FA Ledger Check field, you can post accumulated depreciation as a debit when acquisition cost has been posted as a credit.
