Symptom
- When attempting to perform balance carryforward, an error occurs indicating that depreciation for certain fixed assets has not been completed for the relevant fiscal year.
- Despite depreciation runs being performed for these assets, the depreciation status in the system does not update accordingly and remains in yellow instead green.
- The error prevents the successful execution of balance carryforward.
- The associated error message is "Closing of YYYY not possible. Perform depreciation run for fixed asset XYZ".
YYYY - Refers to the relevant year
XYZ - Refers to the Fixed asset ID
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the General ledger work center.
- Access the balance carryforward sub view.
- Attempt to create a new balance carryforward for the relevant company and year.
- An error message appears as "Closing of YYYY not possible. Perform depreciation run for fixed asset XYZ".
Cause
This issue can be fixed through the recalculation run; but it is not recommended to go for the recalculation run because there is only 2or 3 affected assets (as mentioned in the error message).
Note: Below mentioned numbers for the year, asset, currency and values are just for example purpose for the explanation of the root cause.
Fixed asst mentioned in the error message is for example: 1-0 carries the below mentioned values,
Overall depreciation planned for the year 2000 = -2425485 EUR
Depreciation already posted to the year 2000 = -2477709 EUR
Depreciation amount to be adjusted with positive posting = 52224 EUR
The status of the depreciation postings under depreciation overview shows nothing is posted yet because of some changes user did with respect to the depreciation method in the current fiscal year. Though the same changes got reverted back by user already, the status of depreciation overview still got impacted.
Resolution
- Perform the depreciation run in update mode for the depreciation amount to be adjusted.
- The run will do the required adjustment postings and also this will automatically resolve the status issue in depreciation overview.
- This will also remove the Balance carryforward run error.
Note: Sometime depreciation amount to be adjusted value can be 0.00 EUR as well. In such scenarios also the adjustment postings through the depreciation run is required.
