Depreciation Run - Repeat/restart

Hi Experts,
I have an AuC asset (setup as investment measure), which was initially setup with depkey LINI (120 useful life). Naturally, after running the AFAB, this asset calculated a depreciation. After the calculation, I changed the of this AuC dep key in the master data (AS02) as to 0000 (no depreciation). Consequently, I re-run the AFAB for the same period, but the system issue me an error "Message no. AU133 Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01".
I also understand that 0000 has no account assignment involved. My question is : Are there any steps I forgot to be done for my change in the dep key be recognized by the system?
Please help . . . thanks in advance

I came across the same situation in April month.For resolving the depreciation run issue I assigned temporarily AD account and Depreciation expense account to AUC Asset class.Then restart the depreciation run for March month Once the depreciation run was successful then again depreciation was executed in planned mode for April month.By doing this the amounts which were posted to AD and Depreciation expense account in march and April were offset.Then I unassigned the accounts from AUC Asset class.
Hope this helps.

Depreciation run: Needs restart but asset shows posted while GL not posted.

Hi,
An asset was set up in the wrong asset class. The asset class is not fully configured. Depreciation ran in real mode and error as the accumulated depreication account is wrong and cannot be used. It says it must be RESTARTED.
However, the asset values screen for the asset show the depreciation period as Green, while since the GL is set wrong it is not upated in GL. We want to do an asset transfer to correct asset class BEFORE depreciation is restarted. But since asset things it has depreciaton posted for the month it keeps trying to do reverse posting I assume and errors on the GL account.
We cannot fix the GL and do not want depreciation posted for this asset class.
Can we recalculate or someway reset the subledger to see its not green and just show planned depreciation as amber again. At least then we can do an asset transfer?
Thanks if you can work this one out!!!

Hi,
SInce the status is "Restart",all relevant data is already saved. Your only choice is to permit the posting .
Afterwards you can then do the transfer.
The only possible other solution is to contact SAP consulting, they might have programms to resolve this in the manner you want.
Kind regards

Depreciation run for left out periods

Dear Friends,
For the FY 2008, the depreciation run has been completed till period 8. Now from period 9 to 12 i have to run depreciation. Please help me out to find out how can i do so.
Which peirod should i input in posting period field and which radio button has to be activated (ie. planned posing run, repeat, restart, or unplanned posting run) in tcode AFAB.
Now i want depreciation amount to be reflected into each and every month respectively. ( ie. sep, oct, nov, and dec) instead of all amounts to be posted into single month say dec.
Thanks and Regards,
Payal

Restart Depreciation Run

Dear All,
Our December depreciation run (ran on 5th January) was unsuccessful and the message returned is to restart depreciation run for November. I did a test run (restart) for November and 5 assets were displayed. One of the assets has its depreciation start date changed to a future date, even though the asset had already gone through 2 previous depreciation runs. For such cases, I was told that a repeat run should be performed. However, the repeat run wasn't performed. We believe it's why the December depreciation run was unsuccessful and a November depreciation run was required.
Now, to restart November's depreciation run, we need to reopen the FI posting period for November. Every time something goes wrong for a depreciation run, we might need to rerun for a previous month. And to rerun a previous month, we have to reopen a FI posting period. Since it's hard to prevent this from happening again, it does not seem to be a good standing solution should the same problem occurs again.
Are there any more elegant alternatives? Any advice? Thanks.
Regards.

There were no errors in November because the change in start date probably happened during the month of December.
I don't any faults with this. The change might have been a normal correction. But SAP is also correct in order to ensure that the subledger and GL are reconciled for that period.

Repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?

Hi Gurus,
I have hit the following issue.
Fixed Asset 1 originally assigned to CC-01 for month of March.
And my user has run depreciation for March already.
Later she changed cost center to CC-02.
Then she repeat depreciation run for the month of March, from the depreciation result shows the new cost center CC-02.
But there is no document generated and thus from corresponding GL account, there is no change, still point to CC-01.Which means CC-02 has not been posted to GL account yet.
May I please know if repeat depreciation run can change cost center in GL a/c or not?
If cannot, what should be the correct way to post the new cost center in GL?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
Li Juan

Hi, I have tried the method you mentioned.
I managed to generate the new document (Message shows: Document is posted under number 7500000000).
So can I say that repeat depreciation run cannot change cost center for corresponding cost element?
Everytime user has to do manual posting.
Thanks a lot.

Depreciation Run -"Last Posting run terminated Restart in period 03 2010"

Hello Friends,
Please help me for this. I am trying to run depreciation for a CoCd 2002 in
production. When I do AFAB
for FY 2010 Period 04. It gives a error message "Last Posting run
terminated, restart in period 2010 003"
Diagnosis*
The last posting run in period 003 2010 was terminated by an error.
Before any more posting runs are performed, you must restart the
posting run for period 003 2010.
Procedure
Start the posting run for period 003 2010 again using the restart
parameter.
After this I run AFAB (03 2010) using the Restart radio tab, it runs ok in
Test and w/o Test (i.e in backgrond),
when I check SM37 - it shows a program RAPOST2000 is finished. Then I am
able to run AFAB for (04 2010)
in test and background also. Again a program is there in SM37.
But when I try to run for period 05 2010 - it again shows the earlier error
" "Last Posting run terminated, restart in period 2010 003""
You see the error message comes again.
Can someone suggest me a solution. Do I need to go sm35 and process the
Batch I/P session . Why this error is
coming up?
Regards,
George

Hi George,
please look at table-field TABA-XBUKZ.
If there is a "1" it means "Restart" necessary.
If you have the restart sign you have to solve the error and after the restart the TABA-XBUKZ shoudl change to "X".

How to repeat depreciation run for fixed assets

Dear Sir(s),
we are on SAP B PL03. We would like to re-run depreciation for some fixed assets to correct a previous depreciation run which was executed by mistake. The depreciation was posted to the GL accounts.
We are not able to get this option of re-running the depreciation even after changing the depreciation types of these fixed assets in the fixed asset master data. The depreciation run screen just displays a list of all previous depreciation runs.
Asif

Hi Asif,
The last depreciation you have run showing you in depreciation window,that depreciation you executed by mistake van remove by right click on that depreciation row and remove that row. Doing this your financial posting will be reverse then you can execute depreciation for the same period.
Thanks

Depreciation Run Error (Message no. AA693)

Hi,
User has posted an entry to transfer an asset from one companyh code to the new company code into last FY 2010 in P13. This new company code do not have any asset prior to this. When perfomring the depreciation run, an error message was encounter as per below.
Only an unplanned posting run is possible in this fiscal year.
Message no. AA693
Diagnosis
You have already posted in fiscal years that come after 2010. This means that you can only post in the last posting period 012 in fiscal year 2010. Or you can post to a special period, if one is set up. Since you have not posted yet in this fiscal year, you must specify that the depreciation posting run is unplanned.
Procedure
Please check the fiscal year entered. If you are certain you want to post to fiscal year 012, you must start the depreciation posting run in the last posting period (or in the special period). Be sure to indicate that this posting run is unplanned, since it falls outside of the normal posting cycle.
User has tried the various method (Planned, repeat, restart and unplanned) but still got the same message.
Can someone advise urgently ?
Thanks in advance
Ang.

Hi,
I assume you have in 2010, no entry in the table TABA, because you have made no depreciation run in 2010.
I suppose you have already made a depreciation run in 2011 - right?
In this case you can not post in 2010,
In this case we make a dummy entry in the table TABA in 2010 for period 12. Then you can post in the special period in 2010.
regards Bernhard

Depreciation run in 2007- batch posted in 2008.Csq: Can not close FY07

Hi SAP Guru,
My client has an issue with a depreciation run of 12/07 posted in 12/08. FY=calendar year.
How can this be solved since a depreciation run CANNOT be reversed.
They created an extra asset acquisition in dec 2007 but forgot to run depreciation program in repeat mode before closing period 12/07 in GL. Now end 2008, they couldn't closed FY07 in AA because depreciations were not completely posted. They executed the depr run in repeat mode for 12/07 but manually changed the posting date to 31/12/08 in the batch.
How can this inconsistency between GL and AA be solved now?
My idea is to change the asset key to 0000, execute the posting run of 12/07 in a repeat mode again and post it like they did on 31/12/08. This will create two inconsistency but with opposite signs.
Then reopen 12/07 in GL and again post the depr run in repeat mode but with correct posting date.
But I'm not sure this would work... Please advise? Any other solution would be higly appreciated!
Many thanks!
Stephanie

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick response!
I am glad to hear that the log level is the reason for the output and not an issue with the broker!
Thanks again....

Error in depreciation run - assets under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Adding asset in the previous period and depreciation run

Hi Experts,
I want to know whether we can add an asset for the previous period and run the depreciation.
I will try explaining with an example.
Let us say,I forgot to add an asset and i want to add an asset now with date as 1st July 2008. Is it possible? If it is possible will the system calculate the depreciation from July or will it calculate from the date the asset has been added?
Please explain.
Thanks,
Sasidhar

Hi
It will allow you to add a new asset in the closed period with few conditions
Since you have given in your example as july 2008, check whether your FI year is open. Then check the asset period whether its opened are closed
If all the periods are not resticting you, you can go a head with adding an asset
Your depreciation will be calculated from the date of purchasing, that means only the calculationg will happen from that period and not the accounting entry
You will have only one planned depreciation from july to current period as per your example. So when your running the planned depreciation run for the current period, the entire depreciation will get posted now
You can do repeat run only for one period prior to the current planned period and not at any prior period
So with your example of july 2008, if your running AFAB monthly, repeat run may not work
Warm Regards

Depreciation run 'stuck' in a closed period

Dear experts,
I have the following issue (PROBLEM )
Depreciation ran in Jan - no issues. Dep keys for 2 assets were updated in Feb from 0000 to an automatic key Z..., as a result depreciation was recaclulated as of Jan. Then user, by mistake, ran depreciation for Jan again to 'catch up' deprn on these 2 assets. He got an error log - period 01 is closed, which makes sense. In aw01n Jan now shows as green - posted, but when you drill down you see that Jan depn has not been posted and you see the error log again
Now the user is trying to run depn for Feb and gets the following message: Sorry, you had a run that was cancelled in Jan, you have to restart Jan first before posting Feb. There is no way Jan can be opened.
What I've tried:
changed key back to 0000, run AFAR to recaclulate deprn back to zero for these 2 assets, hoping to re-run AFAB for Jan for these 2 assets to get zero and have depn unstuck...didn't help.. still get an error message - period 1 is closed.
Please advise...

Thanks Bernhard -
What is the difference between XBUKZ: 1 Restart Batch-Input and XBUKZ: 0 Restart Setup ANLP. And how to restart TABA? thought that new depreciation run uses the "direct" update of the depreciations via the accounting interface, not batch input like old depreciaton run, so was surprised to see description of XBUKZ: 1
Another question: if the period is opened wouldn't it be easier to run depreciation in period 1 in restart mode?
I was considering to delete records from ANLP - planned derpn and to be posted depreciation... tested it, works okay (delete records, restart depn in closed period 1, no errors, no documents posted, period 2 planned depreciation can be posted. Not sure what is better from the SOX point of view - open closed period or update internal table in prod....:-(
Thanks a lot for your reply...

Unable to post depreciation run - AFAB

Dear All,
I have a AUC with capitalisation date 16.06.2011. On 4.02.2011, I have wrongly depreciated the AUC. On realising my mistake, I changed the Depreciation key to 'MANU' from '0000' and posted a transaction with Transaction Type '640 - Unplanned depreciation on prior-year acquisitions. Now when I try to execute the depreciation run for period 1 - 2012, which was terminated, I am still getting the error - 'Account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' could not be found for area 01'.
Diagnosis
When creating the accounting document, the system could not find account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' in depreciation area 01 for company code XXXX.
Procedure
Enter this account in the account determination for Asset Accounting.
Since this is an AUC account, account determination to a GL is not appropiate.
Kindly suggest how to proceed, as I am unable to complete my depreciation run.
Thanks
Rosalyn

Hello Konnipati,
Issue is not yet resolved.
The details of the issue are as follows:
1) The user has changed the depreciation key from '0000 to 'MANU' in
one of the AUC and posted unplanned dep. in ABSO transaction.
2) The dep.run was executed for the month end close on the same day.
3) The dep run got terminated with the error
message: 'Account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' could not be
found for area 01' Message no. AU133.
4) The user realised the mistake and reversed the unplanned
depreciation document immediately.
5) Then they tried to execute the 'RESTART' dep. run. But the system is
still showing the same error message.
6) We changed the dep.key from 'MANU' to '0000' in AUC master.
We replicated this scenario in Quality. We tried to resolve the error
by transfering the AUC to new AUC in the same Asset Class.
The values of the AUC got posted to the new AUC without any
depreciation and the old AUC got deactivated.
We then executed the RESTART depreciation run, but we still get the
same error.
6) Since this is a AUC, we cannot assign any GL accounts.
Please let us know your suggestions to resolve the error message in the
depreciation run.
Thanx
Rosalyn

Depreciation run after adjustment in period 14,2007

Hi,
My user has posted adjustment to an asset in period 14. All other periods are closed. Period 13 is already closed and cannot be opened again. And actually, we have run depreciation in period 13.
However, when we want to run depreciation in period 14, system prompt error message and ask to restart run depreciation in period 13.
I am in version ECC5.0.
Now I am confused as the depreciation run is automatically released and therefore, we cannot release the batch in foreground and change the period manually.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Rgds,
Nik

Hi Nik,
we solved a similar problem as follows:
1.) Open period 13 again
2.) Run depreciation with "restart" in period 13
3.) Cancel FI document in period 13
4.) Close period 13
5.) Post FI document in period 14 manually
Maybe this will help you solve your problem!
Best regards,
Walter

Depreciation run for Previous Year

Hi all,
I am trying to run depreciation for the previous year 2009.
I tried the following:
On AFAB I gave the year as 2009 and the period as 01, and checked the planned depreciation check box.
Got an the following error:
'Only an unplanned posting run is possible in this fiscal year'
Then I selected unplanned run and ran the depreciation, still it was getting the another error
saying you can only post to period 12.
Then I changed the period to 12 and ran it and was able to run the depreciation fine.
But now I want to run for the other periods say period 10 and period 11. and now I am getting the following error.
' Period 010 is already Posted'
does that mean that we cannot run a depreciation run for a earlier period, if the latest
period is already run??
If not how can I run it for the other periods 10 and 11??

Hi,
You can only run depreciation for the 12th period only.
Once 12th period's planned depreciation run was performed, then it is not possible to run any kind of depreciation with an earlier period number.
But you can run the 12th period again in repeat mode, in case you have posted any back dated entries after the 12 period'a planned run with an asset values date, which falls before 12th period.
Thanks,
Srinu
