SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
2. Select the Fixed Assets view.
3. Search for ID XXX and open it.(XXX represents the ID of the Fixed Asset)

Result: Under administrative data you can see for the field Created By, the User ABC appears.(ABC represents the User ID)

1. Then click on View all.
2. Go to Values tab.
3. Select Journal.
4. Open the Acquisition Supplier Invoice Source document.
5. From the document flow click on the accounting notification.

Result: The Journal entry shows the User DEF for the field Created By.

Your expectation is that the User that created the Supplier Invoice should also appear in the Fixed Asset for the field Created By.

The invoice was approved by a User. In Business ByDesign the approver creates the Journal entry. The journal entry does the posting to the different ledgers, including Fixed Asset, hence the approver is the one who will create the Asset.

This is the standard system behavior, you can verify this by adding the field Journal Entry Created By. The User appearing will be the approver of the invoice.
