Hi,

If you GL account is When the journal is set to final status, an informational message  "Generated expense(s) : journal number / 1 would have appeared (or should be in the log if you ran the final validation in batch).  

What is your accounting nature set to?  Mine is set to Fixed Assets in Progress.

Hi Patricia, the expense was generated as expected because it appears on the journal entry on the 'Linked expenses' tab and on the Expenses function. The accounting nature of the GL account is set to Fixed assets in service.

Does the Expense show up at the top of the screen under Selection?  If so, check the checkbox and it will be added to the "To be capitalized" list.  Are you trying to add the expense to a new asset or an existing asset?  If existing, I believe there is a parameter value or setting that has to be set to allow for this.  If existing, was the initial asset created from another capitalizable item or was it just added by not selecting another Capitalizable item?

This on-line help topic is thorough and worth reviewing if you haven't already.  Things like making sure the sites match are good things to check as well.  https://online-help.sageerpx3.com/erp/12/staticpost/capitalization-of-expenses-2/?highlight=capitalization+of+expenses

Hi Steve, the expense does not show at the top of the screen under Selection and that is what is causing the issue here. The expense is to be used on a new asset but even if I try to select the expense on an existing asset, it does not appear to be selected.

The Online Help is good but it didn't help on this case

Thank you.

You want to add the expense to an existing asset already in service?

Hi, I have found the issue - it is related to legal requirements and there is an additional step to take that didn't across in other expenses. Thanks all.

Hi VaniaCardosa

Can you please elaborate on the "legal requirement" you are referring to? We are experiencing a similar issue where we can't capitalise an expense generated. It seems like the expense is automatically marked as capitalised when created. This does not happen in the seed folder.
