Hello Experts, I have imported mid life assets and depreciations history through CSV import. The import was successful but It is not creating auto journal entries for assets acquisition and depreciation history. Can anyone help what I am doing wrong? Thanks

You're not doing anything wrong. Imports of assets don't trigger GL entries. You'll have to input those manually. Once your balances in the GL and FAM match, then you'll be able to start posting monthly depreciation and the entries will be recorded in both FAM and the GL.

@RJMNS Can you please guide me how to input these entries manually and how to associate them with assets? Because, auto journal entries are generated by system and they automatically attach with respective assets.

I don't believe you can associate them with assets. At least I never have. If you have 10 assets with original value of 10k and current value of 6k, you just put in an entry to the proper Fixed Assets accounts in those amounts as a regular journal entry. Then once the assets start depreciating, the entries generated by FAM will be properly linked. You could try linking the manual entries to the Acquisition and life-to-date depreciation records via CSV, but I'm not sure that would work. And there are all sorts of background records with FAM that might not update properly, so I probably wouldn't mess with it. Just maybe make a note somewhere (maybe as a note on the FAM asset records themselves?) what the manual entries were. If you do try to link them via CSV, I'd test extensively in Sandbox first, including running the following month's depreciation to ensure something doesn't get screwed up when you try that.

@RJMNS Thank you for your time and information. There is a suitanswer with ID 99786 which says that you can link your depreciation history record with journal entry. I will give it a try and verify results as your mentioned.
