This document describes an issue where a depreciation recalculation for the previous year occurred despite the year-end being closed in financial accounting. This caused inconsistencies between fixed asset and general ledger values. The solution is to run a repair program called RACORR20_A, which corrects the inconsistencies by also processing special depreciations. The program must only be run for areas that post depreciations, and assets affected by retirements must have those retirements reversed and recalculated.

1. 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.

2. 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.
