Period '08' skipped in Depr.Run posting,but remaining periods are posted.

Hi Folks,

Depreciation Values recalculated after changes made to methods and D.Key.

Depreciation run was carried in Aug month where in May, June and July depreciation is also posted simultaneously.

If you go to the asset explorer (AW01) for 2 assets, you will notice August is skipped. Log under test run shows as if values are posted under period 08 for these assets. But, values not stored in database table ANLP.

When I look at posted values of an Asset in Explorer, neither it is showing period 08(AUGUST) values, nor period (08) itself. Why this period 08 is completely disappeared/skipped?

When I look D.Key it is calculating for 9 months (Excluded August month) instead of 10 months.How to make values posted and how to bring back the period 08 (AUG).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you perform a few checks:

1) Note all the transactions that have been posted to these assets which causes no depreciation to be posted to the assets in period of Aug

2) Run test depreciation nand check error analysis on these two assets in repeat mode and execute in foreground. In case you don't find any errors, proceed to step 2

3) Run test depreciation on these two assets in repeat mode and execute in background.

4) Check any other assets with the same dep key and check if these assets also behaved in the same fashion

In case these are the only assets which have this key assigned, then you'll need to work on pre-production server and check if any changes to the depreciation key configuration have been made to post no depreciation in period of Aug categorically.

5) Check for any cost center blocks during this period or changes to equipments.

Hi,

I cannot think of a cause for skipping the period 08 with the information you have provided about the changes you made to dep keys however; to bring back or post depreciation for period 08 you have to update the field AFBLPE (Period in which last depreciation was posted) for dep area 01 in table T093D with period 07 and so u can post depreciation for period 08. A small report program has to be written for this purpose.

Pls assign points if useful

Thanks Kumar.

I verified the table and corresponding field as you mentioned.The table data shows depreciation was posted even in 08.This is correct.BCZ all assets were updated with AUGUST depreciation.Even we could see the value in Posted asset value tab in Aw01n for all assets except 2.

This problem is identified with 2 assets only.I cheked all GL accounts and settings.

Why period 08 is skipped.But period 07 is posted for these 2 assets.Period 08 is not appearing in the posted value tab under AW01n for 2 assets.

Please help me in resolving this ASAP.

Thanks,

There has to be something different about those two assets. Are they fully depreciated? Are they using different depreciation keys with different period controls? If all other assets have depreciation posted for period 8 you have to assume that there is something in those two assets that is the "problem."
