SAP Note 20017 - EAA613: No period determination possible .

Symptom

When you create a fixed asset, the system displays error message AA613.
This also applies to posting transactions.

Reason and Prerequisites

1. Contrary to the fiscal year variant, the assignment rules for period control of the valuation keys are defined as fiscal year-independent.

2. Contrary to the fiscal year variant, the assignment rules for period control are defined as year-dependent.

Solution

1. The fiscal year variant of financial accounting is already defined as year-dependent. The assignment rules in assets accounting, however, are not. You must either maintain these assignment rules for each fiscal year manually or call up the function "Generate period rules" in the IMG for Asset Accounting under ->Depreciation -> Period control, that is Transaction OA84.

Note:

• Up to (incl.) Release 4.6B: Transaction OA84 only displays the values. Only after you save the function are the period rules written in the data base.

• As of Release 4.6C: The table entries are created if you do not select the 'Test run' switch on the selction screen of transaction OA84.

2. The fiscal year variant of Financial Accounting is defined as year-independent.
The assignment rules in
assets accounting, however, are not.
Note that you must enter 12/31 for every year of the assignment rules.

In addition, 12/31 of the year before the year when generation is to start must be maintained. Furthermore, you must maintain the 31.12 of the year before the 'Year' as of which you want generation to occur.
