1786376 - A Fixed Asset is not marked as Low Value Asset Even Though a Capitalization Threshold is Maintained

Symptom

You create a new Fixed Asset via Supplier Invoice procurement. The fixed asset has a value that is within the low-value asset range that you have maintained in Fine Tuning.

The fixed asset should be marked  as Low Value Asset but, instead it is maintained as general fix asset and not as Low Value Asset.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In the Supplier Invoicing Workcenter navigate to the Common Tasks view and choose for instance New Supplier Invoice without Purchase Order.
  2. Fill in all the obligatory fields and maintain a value that is between the minimum and maximum amount of the low value asset range in fine tuning.
  3. In the Items Tab and there in the Cost Distribution tab you select Individual Material as Account Assignment Type.
  4. Post the Invoice
  5. Now navigate to the Fixed Assets workcenter and there to the Fixed Assets view
  6. You find the fixed asset that you have just created but you notice that the fixed asset is not marked as Low Value Asset.
