Error while Executing the Depreciation... in AFAB

[Former Member]

Hi experts

We have not at run the depreciation for 2008. If i run the depreciation in AFAB by selecting the following parameters

Company code = ABCD

Fiscal year = 2008

Posting Period = 001

• Planned posting run

Test run

i m getting the following error.....

According to posting cycle, you should post period 003 next

Message no. AA683

Diagnosis

You cannot post depreciation in the period specified, as this will miss out a posting period.

System Response

No posting can be made in this period.

Procedure

According to the posting cycle, you should post period 003 next. Either enter period 003, which corresponds to the posting cycle, or request an unplanned posting run explicitly for this parameter.

How to solve this problem

Thanks in adcance

This error would come up when the depreciation have been already posted for the said period.

Are trying this for the first time? or did you run the depr in the previous year? Please explain and also, provide more details.

Hi,

The scenario is.. I have copied a chart of depreciation of an existing company code which is started in the month of March

Asset Accounting

-> Asset Data Transfer

-> Parameters for Data Transfer

-> Date Specifications

-> Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year

In the above mentioned path the existing company code ' Take over date' is 06.03.2003

But for the new company code 'Take over date' is 01.01.2008. This could be the reason to not allowing for Depreciation run for Period 001. Will it work if i change this ' Take over date' to 31.12.2007. I tried to change this 'Take over date' but its not allowing to change.

Kindly suggest what to do.

Regards,

When you have run depreciation in a test system some times this date is transported to the test / production system and you can have this problem. there are some SAP note for this.

You have 3 options

Look to these note's

Do for period 01 and 02 not a planned posting but a Repeat run. (do this first in test modus)

Post period 1, 2 and 3 as one depreciation run (do this first in test modus)

Can you have a look wath the value is in the table T093D

I had put this in an old message:

Hi,

This you can have when you did more transports, it takes then the value from your last depreciation run from your development system.

The values are stored in the the table T093D. You can have a look to it.

I think you can run the depreciation run for period 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 as repeat run. Then you get the real values in the correct period. An other option is to run in period 5 cum (1 to 5)

see SAP note

There are more note's with T093D

Dear ,

As per your configuratrion,what you have configured system for depreciation whether periodic wise or year wise. You can select unplaned depreciation run,if you have configure period wise run.
