2077695 - Depreciation Run - Fixed Asset Posting Inconsistent

A depreciation run was executed but ended with the following errors: 

• During run for company XYZ, set of books XXX, the error 'Save failed; report an case' occurred.
• Cannot save fixed asset
• Posting not possible; fixed asset posting inconsistent

 It’s understood that some fixed assets are inconsistent, but the depreciation run log does not indicate which specific assets are affected, making troubleshooting difficult. 

SAP Business ByDesign

1. In the Fixed Assets work center navigate to Periodic Tasks - Depreciation.
2. Press New - Fixed Asset Depreciation Run.
3. Enter a run description, maintain the company and the respective period and year.
4. Press Start Now to immediately execute the run.
5. After a few moments a message appears stating Run XYZ finished with errors.
6. On the top of the screen click on Display Log.
7. In the Log navigate to the Messages tab. Here the error messages are displayed. But there is no reference of the affected fixed assets.
8. Navigate to the Erroneous Fixed Assets tab but there are no fixed asset IDs listed here either.

When such error messages regarding inconsistent fixed assets appear then there will be already business tasks created asking the user to update fixed asset master data.
These tasks can be found in the Work view of the Fixed Assets work center or in the Closing Relevant Tasks view of the General Ledger work center’s Closing Cockpit. 

The tasks will mention the involved Fixed Asset and suggest a way of checking the Fixed Asset Master data:

Task: Edit Missing Master Data of Asset to Enable Posting XYZ - Fixed Asset ABC.

The description of the business tasks will give you hints on what to check/update in the fixed asset master data:

The master data of the asset is incomplete - thus cannot be posted to. For detailed messages navigate to the master data of asset XYZ-ABC.

To ensure posting consistency, check the following key issues: 

• If profit center accounting is active, you have to provide a valid cost center or profit center.
• Check that the parameters, useful life, and depreciation method are correct for each valuation view.
• Ensure that the assigned individual material is not already assigned to another fixed asset.

The fixed asset can be accessed by selecting the business task link and opening the Master Data tab.

Otherwise

1. Go to the Fixed Asset work center and there to the Fixed Assets - Fixed Assets view.
2. Find the respective Fixed Asset and press Edit - Master Data.

Please note: If the missing data cannot be identified, the issue may stem from inconsistencies in the organizational structure, which must be resolved before updating the fixed asset master data.
