2586394 - Error Message Regarding Fixed Asset Depreciation when Performing Balance Carryforward Run

Symptom

When performing a Carryforward Run, the following error messages are displayed:

  • 'Depreciation pending for more than X fixed assets for fiscal year YYYY'
  • 'Closing of YYYY not possible. Perform depreciation run for fixed asset AA'

(YYYY represents the year you are performing the Carryforward Run for).
(X represents the number of Fixed Assets affected).
(AA represents the affected Fixed Asset).

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General Ledger Work Center.
  2. Under Periodic Tasks select Balance Carryforward.
  3. Click New and Select Carryforward Run.
  4. Enter the parameters.
  5. Click Start Now.

Error messages are displayed:

  • 'Depreciation pending for more than X fixed assets for fiscal year YYYY'
  • 'Closing of YYYY not possible. Perform depreciation run for fixed asset AA'

Cause

One possible reason is that there are missing depreciations for Valuation View of the Fiscal Year YYYY.

Two ways to check:

  1. Open the Asset AA, navigate to the Values Tab, and check all the Valuation Views to see if any Depreciation Status is yellow for Fiscal Year YYYY; this indicates that a Depreciation Run must be performed.
  2. Check Depreciation report to see if the posted depreciation amount equals the planned depreciation amount.

Resolution

Post the depreciation of YYYY for all of the Valuation Views of Fixed Asset AA. It can be done by performing a depreciation run.

  1. Go to the Fixed Assets Work Center.
  2. Under Periodic Tasks select Depreciation.
  3. Click New and select Fixed Asset Depreciation Run.
