Business Central 2025 wave 2 (BC27): Automatically create multiple fixed asset cards

Hi, Readers.
Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 wave 2 (BC27) is generally available. More details: General Available: Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 release wave 2 (BC27).

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful. In this post, I would like to talk about Create multiple fixed asset cards.

Create multiple fixed asset cards:

Business value:
Automatically creating multiple fixed asset cards when you post a purchase invoice streamlines asset management processes. Customers get reduced manual effort, increased accuracy, and improved operational efficiency. With this feature, businesses can easily handle bulk purchases and make sure each asset is recorded and tracked without manual entry.

Feature details:
This feature automatically creates multiple fixed asset cards when you post purchase invoices. For example, if your company purchases 200 computers from the same vendor, Business Central automatically generates fixed asset cards for each computer. You don’t need to create the cards manually.

As you might know, we can post a fixed asset acquisition manually with a fixed asset G/L journal. More details: Acquire fixed assets

We can also purchase fixed assets through Purchase Order or Purchase Invoice.

However, before acquiring fixed assets, we need to create fixed asset cards first. If we need to add a large number of fixed assets, we generally use Edit in Excel or Configuration Package import until now.

With this wave (BC27), Microsoft has added a new and simple method for us. Let’s see more details.

First I created a fixed asset.

Set up the Depreciation Book and other information.

I then created a new purchase order and added the fixed asset I had just created. The operations so far are the same as before.

In BC27, when entering quantity, we can enter the actual number of fixed assets. Previously, this quantity was only relevant for calculating the total amount, so, like in G/L Account and Item Charge, it was generally entered as 1. For example, This time I entered 30.

Microsoft has added a new field, No. of Fixed Asset Cards. It is hidden by default, but can be added via the Personalization feature.

No. of Fixed Asset Cards
Specifies the number of fixed assets that is being purchased.

This value defaults to Quantity, but can be modified.

Then we can preview FA Ledger entries that will result from posting this purchase order.

This includes 30 details.

You may find that it contains fixed assets that have not yet been created.

Yes, fixed asset cards will be automatically created when posting.

Except for the Fixed Asset No., all other information is the same as the fixed asset selected in Purchase Line.

Great, give it a try!!!😁

Hope this will help.
