Business value

This feature helps ensure that the depreciation transaction will not be posted to a fixed asset book that’s in an unposted journal.

Feature details

The feature will run a check during posting to verify that a fixed asset book ID hasn’t been selected in another unposted journal. If it has, the book will be locked and the posting process will stop.

If an asset book ID is locked in a journal, it can be unlocked manually.

An option on the Fixed assets parameters page lets you turn the feature on after it's been enabled in the Feature management workspace.
