Fixed assets depreciation; Message no. AU 390

Question

Dear Sirs,
recently when we're accessing a fixed asset by using the fixed assets browser ( AW01N) we’re getting the following message: “<i>Values for Ordinary deprec. have changed in dep. area 40 in fiscal year 2007</i>”. By following the message’s suggestion we’re trying to re-calculate the depreciation of the specific fixed asset (for the specific depreciation area) by using the AFAR.
However, although during the simulation (test run) it seems that the fixed asset’s depreciation is being recalculated, without the test run flag we’re getting the following result:
<i>22.03.2007                                            Recalculate Depreciation                                            1
Selection not allowed in production run - program termination
22.03.2007                                            Recalculate Depreciation                                           2
Statistics
=========
22.03.2007                                            Recalculate Depreciation                                           3
Changed assets
    With value difference over limit                   0,00       0
    From selected dep.area/acct grp                               0
    From selctd dp.area/acct grp over limit            0,00       0
Top asset
    Totaling                                No asset found
    From selected dep.area/acct grp         No asset found</i>
Can you please advice us of the above? Is it possible (although it is just an information message) that this may affect us in future time (e.g. end of year process)?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Kind regards

Hi,
   In a Production run AFAR does not allow a restriction of the assets.
If you only want to recalulate a single asset, use AS02 and select "Recalulate values" from the Menu.
Kind regards
