2776920 - Schedule a New Recalculation Run for Depreciation, for the Company and the Set of Books

Symptom

You are trying to create a new depreciation run for Company ABC (ABC stands for the company ID) and set of books NNN (NNN stands for the set of books ID) for the period PPP/YYYY (PPP/YYYY stands for the period/year).

You get the warning message " For correct results, before running this depreciation, schedule a new recalculation run for depreciation, for the company ABC and the set of books NNN as there has been no successful processing of recalculation run after the opening of the fiscal year YYYY."

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
  2. Go to the Depreciation view.
  3. Press New and choose Fixed Asset Depreciation Run.
  4. Enter a run description. 
  5. Enter the company ID. 
  6. Select the respective closing step. 
  7. Enter the Period PPP/YYYY.

A warning message appears: "For correct results, before running this depreciation, schedule a new recalculation run for depreciation, for the company ABC and the set of books NNN as there has been no successful processing of recalculation run after the opening of the fiscal year YYYY."

Cause

Every time a new fiscal year is created, the depreciation values accumulated for all the fixed assets have to be recalculated, so the new period-wise values are persisted for the newly created fiscal year.

Therefore, a recalculating depreciation run (notice the period 999/9999)  is automatically scheduled.

For some reason, this recalculation run was not triggered or finished with errors.

Resolution

You can solve this issue by performing a new recalculation run as follows:

  1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
  2. Go to the Depreciation view.
  3. Click the New button and then Fixed Asset Depreciation Run.
  4. Enter Run Description.
  5. Uncheck the Test run box.
  6. Enter Company as ABC.
  7. Select the Closing step as 020 - Closing entries.
  8. Enter the Period 999/9999.

After the run is finished, check the status of the run.

If there are errors, resolve them and execute the Recalculation Run once again.

Should you not be able to resolve the errors, send an incident to Product Support.
