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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Hi, Can you please how the issue is solved because i have the same problem which i need to resolve immediately. Please reply me as soon as possible

  • 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,

  • 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...

  • 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 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 specific depreciation area

    Hi,
    In AA, we defined 2 depreciation area for all the assets class, one for local(01), another one for group(30). all the area will be posted to FI.
    according to requirement, we would like to stop specific depreciation area depreciation run for certain asset(not asset class). this means that for depreciation area 01, it will be work, but for 30, it should be stopped. may be 3 months later, this asset will be restart run depreciation for area 30.
    Would anyone know how to do that? thanks.
    Ben

    Hi
    Hope you have to change the Config settings then.
    Go to AO21 and select your screen layout and double click Field Group rules and under FG 18 you have Deactiv. area make this enrty optional and also select the check box MnNo.
    Save the entry.
    Come back to AS02,now the dep area will be available for deactivation.
    Good Luck

  • Error in Depreciation run for 7 th period

    Hi Guruu2019s
    When we run depreciation run  year 2008 for period 7 has failed with the following error :
    Account 'Accumulated dep. account unpl. deprec.' could not be found.
    however it has posted to few assets and not posted to few assets, when I checked in the log for posting run there is a message saying that u201Cthere are error in the posting run.after correcting, restart the run.
    u201C2documetns were createdu201D
    If I go to previous log for posting there is no error message and it says with green signals that 3 documents were created. From 1 to 6 periods, in every log says that 3 document were cresated
    Only this particular run says 2 documents were created.
    Any advise?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sunitha,

    It looks like that in period 7, you do the first "unplanned depreciation". That's explain why the error only happen in period 7.
    The problem happens because GL account for "unplanned depreciation" is not created.
    Try to check in t-code : AO90 => Choose your Chart of Account => Choose Account determination for asset class in which you did the unplanned depreciation => Choose Depreciation => Check all GL accounts assignment in "UNPLANNED DEPRECIATION ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT".
    Then check in t-code :FS00 whether the GL Accounts (in "UNPLANNED DEPRECIATION ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT) are exist or not.
    If the GL accounts are not exist then you should created the GL accounts first. Afterwards, try to running the AFAB again using "Restart".
    Good luck.

  • Error depreciation run "GL account 2999999 not created in chart of account"

    Dear all,
    I am facing a very confusing error message. My customer has been live with SAP for over 2 years, and everything has worked fine. This month period 9)  they got an unexpected error message during ordinary depreciation run. No depreciation is posted on GL accounts but if you look at asset values in AW01N you can see depreciation is posted on every asset. When I try to run restart depreciation in test mode I get an error message f5507 "GL account 2999999 not created in chart of accounts CASE". I do not understand anything. Why would this account suddenly after 2 years be used in depreciation run? It has never been created or ever used before? I have looked in transaction AO90 and the account is not there.
    Very thankful for any help!
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards, Åsa

    Hi,
    1 - Execute dep test run with list asset check box, then find is there any new assets created with new asset class
    2 - Check in AO90 Dep folder
    3 - Check retained earning account either existing or not (T.Code: OB53)
    4 - If you are using document splliting Check Docuemnt splliting Zero balance GL account

  • Depreciation run issue.......

    Hi,
        I am trying to re run the depreication as it calulated wrongly for last 2 months. Now when i am executing it through AFAB T.code, it is giving me an error that posting period is not open for period 1. Our fiscal year start in Oct and ends in Sept. I checked the OB52 settings and there it is shoiwng that currently period 3 is open.
    So is there any other way through which i can re run the depreciation posted. I don't think business will agree to open the closed period.
    Please suggest.
    Regards....

    Hi
    To post an acconting document in a particular period, that period should be opened. And in case of depreciation run also, accounting document is generated by the system. So it's necessary to open the period to execute depreciation.
    Otherwise you can correct the incorrect depreciation in current period if it's ok as per your management.
