SAP Note 12473 - Depreciation posting earlier than depreciation start date

Symptom:

For example: depreciation start date of a fixed asset is 06/01/FY. Depreciation is planned as of this point in time until the fiscal year-end.
However, if a depreciation posting run is executed earlier, for example in March, proportional depreciation is already posted for the above-mentioned fixed asset, although the depreciation start date is 06.01.FY.

Cause and prerequisites

Proportional distribution is set in the depreciation posting rules.

Solution
If proportional distribution is set in the depreciation posting rules, depreciation posting starts immediately with the next RABUCH run. If catch-up method is set, depreciation posting does not start until the depreciation start date.

Key word: RABUCH00
