How to change the posting date in the Fixed asset depreciation Run?

Hello,

We have migrated a fixed asset the 01.11.18.

We have just realized that we didn't run the december depreciation run.

The year closing is now done (Not in ByD) so we don't want the december depreciation run being posted on December but on another open period on 2019.

However, we have to put 012 2018 in the Period/Year field to make the system taking the December depreciation amount in consideration but the result is that it automatically posts the entry on December.

Do you know how to process to make it being posted at another date?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Dear Elen,

You will not be able to close the Fiscal Year 2018 if there are Depreciation postings necessary for period 012.2018.

The Balance Carryforward run will not work in this case.

Depreciation is always fiscal year relevant. It cannot be carried over into the next fiscal year.

You have to open period 012.2018 to execute the Depreciation run.

However, the only other possible way might be to create a valuation interval in the Fixed Asset Master Data - Asset Valuation - Valuation Intervals sub-tab for period 012.2018 for which you maintain no automatic depreciation. Then create another interval starting from 001.2019 with the usual depreciation method.. Then check how this affects the postings.
It is best to try this first in your test system to validate the steps and resulting postings.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Caroline

Dear Caroline,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

In our situation, it doesn't suit (we do monthly closings so we don't want that the 2019 depreciations already posted being affected). However, I think that could be a good solution in case of annual closing.
