You can perform the following tasks to set up and calculate fixed asset impairments using Microsoft Dynamics AX.

  • Generate a list of fixed assets that are possibly impaired. You can then review and calculate the undiscounted cash flow, fair value, or recoverable amounts of each asset in the list manually to determine whether the fixed assets are impaired.

  • Update impairment indicators, such as undiscounted cash flow of the fixed assets.

  • Run the impairment recognition test using the impairment indicators to generate a list of impaired fixed assets.

  • You can specify recoverable values that indicate the extent to which the fixed assets are impaired, and then create journal transactions for these impaired fixed assets. You can specify the details about the impairment before you post the journal.

  • View the details of the impairment transactions for fixed assets.
