An error occurred during SAP-fi-afab-asset depreciation. "after the previous year's settlement, you can only charge for the New Year"

Environment:

It was launched in 2008, and the deactivating system in 2009 only raised depreciation once in January. 2010. 03 newly purchased assets, an error occurred during depreciation in May April. "after the previous year's settlement, you can only keep your account for the New Year." In May 2009, you normally complete the year's settlement, there is no problem with the asset data. It should be a system bug. I found a SAP solution for this bug and successfully solved it.

Cause: When SAP raises depreciation, it first checks the depreciation log (not logs for each asset). If the depreciation log does not exist in the early stage, but it can be calculated out of the plan, but if the amount is not depreciated in the early stage, this bug will occur. No matter which method you use, you cannot make a profit. Depreciation logs are stored in the Taba table. You can manually add a log of the previous period (the last period of the previous year) so that the system determines that the last period of the previous year has been depreciated. Based on the situation, make plans or unplanned provisions.
