Fixed Asset Setup for Dynamics 365 Business Central

-

Below is an overview of the setup and its purpose in the fixed asset process:



  1. FA Classes – Defines the high-level classifications for fixed assets, such as Vehicles, Equipment, and Furniture, helping to organize assets into broad categories. You must create at least one fixed asset class during your setup.


  2. FA Subclasses – Provides further categorization within FA Classes, adding more granularity (e.g., Heavy Equipment vs. Light Equipment), which can aid in reporting and management.


  3. FA Locations – Lists the locations where fixed assets are physically stored or used, ensuring accurate asset tracking across different business sites.


  4. Depreciation Books – Contains depreciation settings and methods, ensuring compliance with financial and tax reporting requirements.




  5. FA Posting Groups – Defines how fixed asset transactions are mapped to the General Ledger, ensuring correct financial postings based on asset type.


  6. Fixed Asset (5600) – A detailed register of fixed assets, including asset numbers, descriptions, acquisition costs, and depreciation settings.


  7. Fixed Asset Journal – A journal entry sheet used for recording fixed asset transactions such as acquisitions, disposals, and depreciation postings. This will assist us with getting the proper book value into the system.

Applying posted credit memos to posted invoices isn't a hard task to complete in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The example I use below is for a vendor credit, but the same process applies to customers.  Version: US Business Central 20.0 Open up the vendors list. Search for vendor that you'd like to apply the credit memo to an invoice for.  Click on Balance field to open up Vendor Ledger Entries window. This will show all the 'open' documents on the vendor ledger. Select the line for the Credit Memo that you want to apply to a posted invoice. Click Process > Apply Entries Within the Edit - Apply Vendor Entries window select the line(s) that you'd like the credit memo applied to.  Click Process > Set Applies-to ID This will put the users name into the Applies-to ID field on the line selected. To post the application select Process > Post Application. Written by: Kristen Hosman, Microsoft MVP

How I passed the MB-800 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant exam

How I failed the first time It was October 2020 and my manager at the time dared me to take the Beta exam without studying to gage how hard it was. I can't turn down a good dare, so I scheduled the exam for October 20, 2020, and spent the days leading up to it reviewing the skills measured document provided by Microsoft.  The day came and I felt pretty prepared to proceed with taking the exam. Because the exam was still in Beta I didn't find out until January 4, 2021, that I actually failed the exam. The passing score is 700 and I ended up with 615.  Looking back at that experience I remember thinking the exam was hard and that some of the questions were written in such a way that was confusing and thinking that I'd never pass. So, I put the exam on the back burner and continued on with my life.  Passing the second time It wasn't until recently (yesterday) that I decided to take the exam again. I decided that today was the day and that I was going to schedule the exam ...
