29694 - Deprec.recalc.for prv.yr despite yr-end close in FI

Symptom

Master record changes triggered a depreciation recalculation that also affects the previous year's

planning values even though financial accounting has been completed.

This causes differences in the value adjustments between fixed assets and general ledgers.

Other Terms

Year-end closing, AW01, reconciliation, inconsistency, posted values, RAGITT01,

RACORR20

Reason and Prerequisites

A year-end closing was performed in financial accounting but not for asset accounting. The depreciation

recalculation always recalculates all open year. Therefore, the planned depreciations may change for the

previous year and with them the accumulated values for the current business year.

Solution

You can correct the inconsistency with the attached repair program RACORR20_A. With the specially

marked statements, the program now also processes special depreciations.

You must only execute the program for areas that also post depreciations. Never execute the program

for areas that do not post depreciations, otherwise, the depreciation values are zero after the program

has been executed.

Create the following program in your system and start it for the affected company codes specifying the

previous year with option PA_TEST = 'X'.

Note that the variables are written in capital letters.

Check the listed assets to determine whether the specified amount matches the original planned value

for the previous year. If this is the case for all assets, you can start the program again with option

PA_TEST = ' '.

Then perform the year-end closing and trigger a depreciation recalculation for the affected assets.

If a derived (virtual) area exists for the affected valuation area, RACORR20_A may also have to be

started for the other areas used for the value determination of the derived area (this means for the area

02 if special items with reserves exist).

Important

If assets are affected for which retirements have already been posted in one of the fiscal years that are

still open, they have to be reversed before you run RACORR20_A. Then the values have to be

recalculated for these assets and the retirements have to be posted again. The same applies to

retirement transfers.
