About Course

Learn to set up and run fixed assets in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, step by step.

The course follows the order a company uses fixed assets: first the setup (depreciation books, posting groups and journals), then the master data (asset cards, main assets and insurance), then the transactions (buying, depreciating, writing down, revaluing, moving and selling assets). It ends with reports, budgets and a month-end check.

Every lesson links to the free Microsoft Learn module and documentation, with a hands-on exercise in your own practice company and two questions to check yourself. The lessons marked MB-800 cover the fixed asset skills in the Microsoft Business Central Functional Consultant exam.

Free. Brought to you by Priority One, Business Central partner in New Zealand and Australia.
