Symptoms

Consider the following scenario. You set the depreciation method to "Declining-Balance 1" for a fixed asset in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Then, you post additional acquisitions for the fixed asset. In this scenario, the depreciation is wrongly calculated. However, you may not notice this issue because there is no warning message. After you apply the codefix that is described in this article, you will be notified to manually check the postings and correct them if it is necessary.
