Problem with 2023 year-end in fixed asset accounting

[dianamarcela_cardonalopez]

We need to close the year 2023 in fixed asset accounting, but the system indicates that it is not possible because not all periodic operations have been accounted for. After the review, we found that the accounting for asset retirement in the month of December 2023 failed, for a specific valuation area (non-principal area). Since the 2023 accounting is already closed, and we are not allowed to open it, is there a way to open only the non-primary ledger to record the asset withdrawal? Is it possible to post the retirement of the 2023 asset in this year 2024 and subsequently close the year 2023 for fixed assets?

There must be unposted planned depreciation. 

Check the asset involved, you could add a time interval for the periods that have planned depreciation and use depreciation key 0000 (no depreciation), see if the planned values fall off. Then close the fiscal year, then create a new time interval and add the depreciation key you want to use to calculate depreciation for the new year. 

Test is on your quality system first.
