Dear,
This error occurs when you select only G/L account on Fixed Asset Acquisition and try to add the document.
In order to post an acquisition you should choose Fixed Assets from the item type selection box. Then the program will automatically find the correct FA G/L account using the account determination. If you only
enter G/L account on the document without entering Fixed Assets, this error occurs.
The option to enter a G/L account here is for convenience. It is a feature to do an additional posting which has not really someting to do with fixed assets management. For example, let's assume that you buy a
car and a can of motor oil. Then on the first line of the row you enter the type- Fixed Assets and asset code - for posting of the car and on the second line you enter the type - G/L account - for the motor oil.
What will happen is that this motor oil will not be activated. Because you should've chosen the type - Fixed Assets - for the motor oil as well. The G/L accounts option is a feature to do those two postings in
one go.
So at least one line must be defined as Fixed Assets on this document .
The error appears because no fixed assets was chosen.
Wish the information above could solve your issue.
