Unable to post depreciation- Error AA730

[former_member428876]

Hi all,

When I am trying to post depreciation for the month 08/2010, I got an error message saying that:

The last posting run in period 007 2010 was terminated by an error. Before any more posting runs are performed, you must restart the posting run for period 007 2010.

Start the posting run for period 007 2010 again using the restart parameter.

Then I tried to run the depreciation for period 7 with the 'Re-start' option, but the period 7 is closed.

Is there a way to catup the depreciation in period 8 with out opeing the period 7 .

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks,

Vijayanth

Hi Vijayanth

To keep consistency between GL and AA, you do not have other choice, you have to reopen period 7 in both GL and AA side and run depreciation posting run in u201CRestartu201D mode to avoid AA730. Of cause, you need to check the depreciation run log and fix the error before you can run depreciation posting run again.

Hope itu2019s helpful.

Make sure you check the err log in SM37. A background custom validation table was causing the AA730.

Hello,

You need to open Period 7 and restart the Depreciation run. Then only system will allow to run Depreciation for the period 08.

Hi Vijayanth,

If its a Production environment the ideal solution would be to create a new authorisation group in OB52 and assign one person to this authorisation group who is familiar with Asset Accounting. Open the period 07 for this particular User and allow him to the run the depreciation in REstart Mode after clering the errors for period 07.

This wiil not create any problems in the production environment.

thanks,

There is no other option then to tun it in period 7

What you can do is to reverse the posting in period 7 and post again. Use a different document type for the depreciation posting (before SAP version 4.7) You can test this first in your test system

Transaction ABF1 SAP note 69225

Menu / Document / post with reference

1 Use the option Generate reverse posting / display line items / copy text for the reversal postings in period 7

2 Use the option display line items / copy text in period 8

You have to make a correct month end procedure to look if the depreciation is completed for that month. You can see this with the transaction: AFBP - Display Log

Hi Paul

Can ABF1 reverse the depreciation posting ? Does it reverse in FI-AA or FI-GL?

If reversal is done for period 007 now, can the depreciation be run for that period in AFAB? How does the system behave after ABF1

Hi Ajay,

This reverse only the depreciation posting in FI NOT IN AM. At that moment FI an AM are no longer in line on 31-07-2010 for that moment but on 31-08-2010 it is again

Doing this during the year I have never seen problems. I have only seen problems when you do this during the fiscal year change.

When you do a currency conversion it runs ABST2 - Account Reconciliation for the last closed fiscal year and when there are differences between FI/AM it stops. (this you can solve with making correction postings in the old fiscal year)

Hi Paul

Thanks..

That means, one has to do reversal using ABF1 and then again make correct posting using the same.. I got it right?

You said in your earlier reply use it in period 008 with some options ticked.. Why in this case it needs to be used in Period 008 when the issue pertains to 007?

The depreciation will be posted in period 7 but 7 is closed (you have first to open period 7 and complete the depreciation run for peiod 7).

The reversal is posted in period 07. Thus the values change in period 7 is 0,00 You post again with reference in period 8

It is not the perfect solution but you don't change total ammounts in period 7.

Thank you Paul. I think that solves the issue.

I was hesitant about opening the period 7. But as you said, the posting can be reversed for depreciation in the FI using ABF1.

And in period 8, I make a the FI posting with reference to the original depreciation posting of period 7 and then run the normal depreciation for period 8. At the end of period 8, both FI and AA are in sync.

Thanks again,

Vijayanth

Hi,

You have to open period 7 and restart the depreciation run and then close the period.

I don't find any other way than this to resolve your issue.
