Error Message:
“A fiscal year change has not yet been performed in Asset Accounting for company code XXXX”.
Analysis:
The above error occured when you post transaction in Asset Accounting for the new fiscal year. The error appears because the new fiscal year for fixed asset accounting is not yet open.
Explanation:
From the system point of view, a fiscal year change is the opening of a new fiscal year in asset accounting for a company code. Once a fiscal year change takes place, the asset values from the previous fiscal year are carried forward automatically and cumulatively into the new fiscal year. Do remember that no business transactions for assets can be posted in a new fiscal year before the fiscal year change takes place. Moreover, even the fiscal year change has already done, asset can still be posted in the old fiscal year. What happen is, the system automatically corrects any values that are affected by postings from the past fiscal year.
Please do note of this requirement for fiscal year change: “The second prior fiscal year should be closed”. For example, new fiscal year is 2009. As a requirment, fiscal year 2007 should be closed first before you run Fiscal Year change (AJRW).
