We have an issue when trying to report an add investment through a PO. The fixed asset reference is provided. However, results in an error in the Accounting tab of the purchase transaction history “No further acquisition possible for object (Object ID). FA will not be updated” the PO is in the closed status.

As a result, the period cannot be closed and transactions remain in the ‘distribution and manufacturing transactions’. Please advise on how this can be corrected.

This is a situation where add investment is done to an existing Object.

You can use a Manual Voucher, Supplier Invoice or Project completion to handle external add investment. However from the initial design the Purchase order transactions were not handled due to the complexities involved. When the purchase orders transactions are transferred and when the invoice is mapped there could be a time lag. And the complexities and additional validations required were not addressed. Therefore, the functionality does not apply to transactions coming from Distribution or Manufacturing.

Hence you cannot perform an additional investment to an Active fixed asset object through a PO. That is why you get the error “No further acquisition possible for object (Object ID). FA will not be updated”.

Therefore as the solution, you need to perform add investment to the FA object through a Manual Voucher, Supplier Invoice or Project completion.

‘Add investment – progress’ window is used to Activate the added investment to the FA object, upon which the FA side is updated.

The below steps should be helpful for you to rectify the situation.

  • If the PO connected to the inventory transaction is in the Closed status. RMB the line and Reopen it. The PO status will change to Received.
  • RMB the PO line and select Pre Posting. Since the PO is in the Received status, the Pre Posting is editable now. Remove the Fixed Asset from the Pre Postings. If you don’t want this transaction to be reported, you may remove the quantity as well. However, if you want the PO transaction to be reported without the Fixed Asset reference, you may still save the record after removing the Fixed Asset pre posting.
  • Rerun erroneous distribution and manufacturing postings for the relevant site.
  • Run the ‘Transfer purchase transactions’ and check the ‘Background jobs’ window. If the status is ready, refresh the ‘Purchase transaction history’ for the relevant PO. The status should change to ‘Transferred’.
  • Update the vouchers.
  • Record the add investment through a Manual Voucher, Supplier Invoice or Project completion.
  • Update the Add Investment and update the vouchers to the GL.
  • The transaction will be recorded in the ‘Object transaction analysis window’.
I hope this helps and issue will be resolved.
