Posting period of "Depreciation Posting Run" problem

Question

Hi all,
I was configured my company code with 12 period of nomal fiscal year (defauld fiscal year variant K4). I think Posting period field of Depreciation Posting Run screen (T-code: AFAB) must have 12 posible entries, are 1,2,3,...,11,12. But when I display posible entries of this filed, it only have to posible entries (000-000, 000-365). So that, I can't choose a period to excute real depreciation run.
How to define posible entries 1,2,3,..,11,12 of posting period field of Depreciation posting run screen?

Hi,
If I have understood your question correctly
When u do F4 in field "Posting Period" in AFAB you get the following screen:
From            To
000               000
000               365
You don't do F4 in that field. Since your Posting Period Variant is K4, just manual input the relevant posting period in the field. i.e if you want to post depreciation for April then just input Period 4 in the field.
Now what you have to be careful is which depreciation method you are going to select for doing the Posing Run. (i.e the Reason for Posting Run fields)
You have 4 methods which is described below:
1. Planned Posting Run. (This should be done if all the depreciation upto the earlier posting period has been done properly under the planned posting run).
If you have done unplanned run for earlier periods and have never done a planned posting run for the earlier periods for the concerned asset, then you cannot do planned posting run for period 4 directly. You should first do planned posting for period 1, then for period 2, then for period 3, and then finally for period 4. The depreciation will be zero for Posting periods 1,2,3 if your start depn in your asset master is 1st April.
2. Repeat Run: You can use this to do repeat run. You can do Planned depreciation run only once for a particular asset for a particular period. You can then do a repeat run for doing the depreciation run for the same asset.
3.I don't think you wll need to do Restart run.
4. You can do unplanned depreciation run directly for period 4, if you have not done the depreciation run for the particular asset for the earlier period. but this is not recommended. This should be done only in specific circumstances when you have no chance of doing either planned depn run or repeat run.
Pl assign points.
