Cannot execute year-end closing in IDES R/3 4.71

Hi Gurus,
I am working with IDES R/3 4.71.
since the current fiscal year in system in 2003, i try to change the fiscal year to 2004, then 2005, ..., finally I wish to get fiscal year 2009.
during the procedure, i need to post AA depreciation for each period of 2003. I have done that successfully with AFAB. then I also successed with Change Fiscal Year to 2004. now I need to execute year-end closing for 2003. but the system reports errors.
error message like below:
=========================================================
Asset balance sheet values not completely posted
Message no. AU075
Diagnosis
In company code 1000, which is to be closed, APC values have not been posted to Financial Accounting for all relevant depreciation areas.
Depreciation area 03, at least, is set up for periodic posting of APC values.
The year-end closing checks if documents were posted that have an entry date after the last run of the program for periodic posting of APC values. If such documents are found, the system issues this message.
Procedure
Check which depreciation areas are supposed to post APC values periodically to Financial Accounting according to their Customizing definitions (indicator: "Post assets periodically in General Ledger")
See the Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger IMG activity.
Start the program for posting APC values. In the Asset Accounting main menu, choose Periodic processing . Start this program in update mode, regardless of whether or not documents are displayed in test mode, or if a message appears stating that there are no documents to be posted.
Start APC Posting Program
==================================
I didn't change the depreciation area provided by IDES group.
anybody knows what's wrong?
many thanks!
George

George,
The long text seems to be self-explanatory. IDES comes with pre-configured stuff. So for sake of training they may have designated some depreciation areas as periodic posting. Please follow the instructions in the message and try to resolve it.
If I were you:
a) I would find out the chart of depreciation for the company code you are trying to do a fiscal year close.
b) Then go to the configuration and see the definition of each depreciation area.
c) For those which have periodic posting of depreciation, run the corresponding program as instructed in the long text.
Regards,
Vishal.

Assets Year-end closing

Hi
One of our group companies are facing the issue below.
*. When trying to run any asset transaction the error message "Fiscal year change in co.code J002 possible only after year-end closing 2008" . We are currently in 2010 in financial accounting.
AJRW -Change to new FY 2009 was successful, but for 2010 the same error msg above is displayed.
*AJAB -FY close
- 2008 : The planned depreciation was not completely posted to Financial Accounting for asset 000000300090-0000 in company code J002 in depreciation area 01.
When I check AW01N, there is a planned depreciation amount for 2008 period 12. However, depreciation has been completed for 2009. If I try to a repeat run for 2008 in test mode there is a value coming up. The issue is posting periods are close. Current financial period is in 2010.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nadini

The following are the important steps you must keep in mind while closing asset accounting.
1. Recalculate all asset values AFAR
2. Run program RAUNVA00
3. Run program RAANLA01
4. If you find any unposted assets in step 3 delete them if you do not want in AS06 / AS26 (group assets)
5. Update your insurance index OAV5 (if necessary)
6. Run your regular month end closing process.
7. Reconcile FI-AA with GL accounting - transaction code ABST
8. AJRW - Fiscal Year change
9. AJAB - Close fiscal year
10. reopen the fiscal year OAAQ (if only necessary)
11. Perform all year end closing steps.
Thanks,
Ravi

Error during Year-end closing Asset Accounting (AJAB)

Hi,
While executing transaction AJAB (year end closing AA) the system, the system issues a message "Transactions not completely periodically posted". The detailed message is AU075 "Asset balance sheet values not completely posted".
Processing the error message:
While proceeding through the error message details I checked "Define How Dep Areas Post to GL" and found that 4 depreciation areas are maintained as under:
Area/Description/ G/L/ Target Group
01/ Book dep/1 (Area posts in Realtime)/0L (Leading Ledger)
15/Income tax dep/0 (Area does not post)/ Blank
21/ IFRS/ 3 (Area posts dep only)/1F (IFRS Ledger)
Then I clicked on start APC program, which leads to transaction ASKB (Periodic Asset Posting). The transaction could not be posted as document type is not assigned for periodic posting of Asset Values in SPRO>Fin. Accounting (New)>Asset Accounting>Integration with GL Accounting>Post APC values periodically to GL Accounting>Specify document type for periodic posting of asset values.
I've got 2 queries:
1) whether year-end closing can be executed if the document type is assigned and transaction ASKB is run.
2) If the answer to first query is yes, how come the same error did not encounter in other company codes (the error occurred only in 2 company codes). I've also checked the depreciation area maintained in asset masters of the company code where no such problem was encountered and found it to be same as the company code where the problem has occurred.
Seek your expert advise to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Vipin Patankar

Hi Malhar,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I understand that the issue can be resolved by assigning document type and execute ASKB. At present document type 'AF' is being used for depreciation posting, can we use the same document type for APC value posting or some other document type should be used.
I still need some more highlight on the reason for not facing the problem in other company codes.
Thanks,
Vipin Patankar

Asset accounting - asset year end closing

Dear Experts,
For the year 2008 the depreciation was not processed in asset accounting and now i processed depreciation for the total year from 1 period to 16 th periods by keeping FI period 2008 open and documents were posted successfully. Now i want to close the 2008 period for asset acccounting and i want to open 2009 period for asset accounting .
But i am getting error like Transactions not completely periodically posted. It is taking to 2 paths.
One is Define How depreciation Areas post to General Ledger
Here for my client 3 depreciation areas are there 1) book depreciation 2) Tax depreciation 3) Delta depreciation.
Second is Start APC Posting Programme: When i try run this programme "i am getting message like there are no documents to be posted"
Please help me
Thanks
Balu

Hi,
please read the WIKI guide [Year-End-Closing in Asset Accounting (best practices)|/people/javier.reviriego/blog/2008/07/09/year-end-closing-in-asset-accounting-best-practices].
Even if there are no transaction to be posted, you have to execute the periodic posting run. The run itself will create a protocol entry in any case, if there are values to be posted or not. The fiscal year close process checks thit protocol entry.
Regards,
Markus

Asset year end closing issue

Hi, I run ajab to close year 2010 (not 2011)and encounter below issue:
Asset 004110000555-0000 in company code 0000 (depreciation incomplete)
Message no. AU070
Diagnosis
The planned depreciation was not completely posted to Financial Accounting for asset 004110000555-0000 in company code IN00 in depreciation area 90.
System Response
Year-end closing cannot be carried out for company code IN00.
Procedure
Post the depreciaton using the appropriate posting program (Periodic processing) in Financial Accounting. Then start a repeat run for this asset, if necessary
My depreciation area 90 is "Post assets periodically in General Ledger", what should I do?

Hi
Is depreciation fully posted for the year 2010. Try to run AFAB in repeat mode for the last period of 2010 in test run to see if any values are coming for posting.
If depreciation values exist, then same needs to be posted before you close the Asset fiscal year.
Also please note for posting the depreciation your Fiscal year and period should be open in accounting.
Regards
Malathi

Year end closing (Balance carried forward

Hi
Please help. Our company did not do a year close on debtors and vendors. I realised it now with certain debtors, that their closing balance (June 2006) do not agree to the opening balance (July 2006).
Can one do a closing on the sub-ledger (Debtors & Vendors) as well as for the GL. What affects will it be having on our books or is it save to do it.

Hi Theo,
There is probably nothing much you can do to bring the balances to what it should have been by end of June as some debtors would probably have paid amount owed before June 2006 and you may have paid some Creditors too.
Your best bet is to still go ahead and carry out the year end closure of all the various sub-ledgers that has not been done. Once you've completed this, you may then want to embark on a reconciliation process to determine the exact balances as at June 2006 by analysing all payments received from Debtors to see which ones relates to prior 30 June 2006 and adding these back to get the correct figures as at end of June 2006. You would have to do the same for all Vendor payments you have made.
Just to be sure you have not left out anything from your year-end processes, the following would be very useful and handy as a guide. (Though some of them may not be applicable to your organisation)
1. CJCF - Carry Forward Commitments For WBS Elements
2. CJCO - Carry Forward Budgets For WBS Elements

Hi,
Do you have any back plan prepared for Asset year end closing especially t.code AJRW and AJAB (running this in Background).
what back up plan we should recommend if it fails for already happened activities.

Hi Shanu,
there is a Test-run modus.
If it fails for some reasons, you will get a error message. Then you solve this error and repeat AJRW or AJAB.

Issue in year end closing

Hi
I have an issue in year end closing. What would be effect if i do not clear the open items in GR/IR Account as part of year end acitivity. The balance in my GR/IR Account is zero as of my balance sheet date.
What would happen if i run the balance carry forward program?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

This program will reclassify the entries for the Balance sheet reporting. Since your balance is zero there should not be any impact on the reporting side. Whether you run this program or not it will not have any impact on the balance carry forward program. Since these entries will get reversed at the beginning of the next period in any case.
The config setting will be in OBYP
The following config document may help you in better understanding.
Define Adjustment Accounts for GR/IR Clearing
The goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account is posted to whenever you receive goods that have not been invoiced yet or whenever you receive invoices for goods that have not been delivered yet.
In this activity you define the numbers of the adjustment and target accounts for the automatic postings for the GR/IR clearing account.
Transfer postings have to be made at the balance sheet date to reflect the goods invoiced but not delivered and the goods delivered but not invoiced. The program that analyzes the GR/IR clearing account adjustments this account by posting any outstanding amounts to an adjustment account. It makes the offsetting entry to the account for goods delivered but not invoiced or to the account for goods invoiced but not delivered (target account).

GL balances differences between Year end closing and opening balances

Hi friends,
One GL account balances showing differences between year end closing & year opening balances.
Example: 2006 closing balance is 250000 $
2007 opening balance is 150000 $
difference is 100000 $ . why should coming like this. already completed balances carryforward (F.16) in 2006 & 2007 year.
any programe for this solution ?
One more point is just 2 days back i posted 2 entries for 2006 year equal to 100000 $ . after this entries shall we need go for F.16 (carry forwarded balances).
please do the needful. It is very urgant issue.
Raj

HI,
There shouldn't be any more postings to a GL Account once Balance carry forward has been executed.
If postings have been made then you should execute the Balance carry forward again, otherwise you will see difference in opening and closing GL balance (as mentioned by you).
