This is an inquiry to see if anyone has run into this issue and maybe have some suggestions.
We are using Dynamics Navision 2009 SP1 as our ERP.
Last year, we spent a lot of time looking into transitioning Fixed Assets from a 3rd party software program to NAV's Fixed Asset Module/Ganule.
All looked well until we ran in to an issue with Negative Depreciation.
Our current processes and 3rd party program allows us to import negative numbers and calculate negative depreciation on the negative acq cost. In the Fixed Asset Module in NAV, we can have the "negative acq cost" validation removed, but it seems NAV will not calc negative depreciation.
We use Straight Line w/Half Year Convention as our depreciation method. This we also found to be an issue as in order for NAV to calc STL HY correctly, one has to put in a manual end date of 6/01/XX where xx = final year for depreciation. By doing this, it seems to skew the total depreciable years as if a 10 year asset would now depreciate at 10.74xxxx years.
If anyone has some suggestions, I really feel this module can improve our processes but we face losing historical data that is material if we are unable to bring in the negative figures.
