How to: Post Acquisition Costs from Insurance Journals

If you post an acquisition cost from a purchase invoice, you can link the fixed asset to an insurance policy by posting the acquisition cost from an insurance journal.

To post acquisition costs from insurance journals

  1. In the Search box, enter Insurance Journal, and then choose the related link.

  2. Fill in a journal line.

  3. On the Home tab, in the Process group, choose Post to post the journal lines.

    The entries from an insurance journal are only posted to the insurance coverage ledger.

Note

If the Automatic Insurance Posting field in the FA Setup window is not selected, posting from an invoice or a journal will create lines in the insurance journal according to your specification in the FA Journal Setup window for the depreciation book. In such case, you should use a template and batch without the document number series specified. This is because the document number from the original invoice or journal line will be copied to the insurance journal lines. These numbers cannot be used in the insurance journal if a document number series has been set up.
