3598221 - Fixed Asset Changed By Technical User (SAP_SYSTEM)

A fixed asset has been changed by Technical User (SAP_SYSTEM) and you are wondering why and what has changed.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
2. Go to the Fixed Assets view.
3. Find and open fixed asset AAA (AAA means the asset ID) for Company BBB (BBB means the Company ID).
4. Open Changes tab.
5. Notice the change:

Change date/time: DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM

Changed by: Technical User (SAP_SYSTEM)

User ID: SAP_SYSTEM

You have created a new fiscal year YYYY (YYYY means the new fiscal year) for Company BBB and set of books CCC (CCC means the set of books ID) few minutes before the timestamp of the change in the change log of asset AAA.

Few minutes later (at the exact timestamp of the change in asset AAA) a Depreciation Run with period/year as 9999/999 (Recalculation run) and description as 'Carry forward for new fiscal year YYYY, for company BBB, for set of books CCC' has been automatically executed by system.

This is expected since 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.

System does that by scheduling a new Recalculation Run for the depreciation.

That's the reason for the entry in the change log of asset AAA. Both Depreciation Recalculation Run and the change recorded by User ID SAP_SYSTEM will have the same timestamp.

The system behaves as expected and there's no further action required.
