  The SAP error message AA684 ("No depreciation posting required in period &") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when the system determines that there is no depreciation to be posted for a specific asset in the specified period. This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  
  No Depreciation Calculation: The asset may not have any depreciation calculated for the specified period. This can occur if the asset is newly acquired and has not yet started depreciating, or if the asset is fully depreciated.
  
  
  Depreciation Key Settings: The depreciation key assigned to the asset may not be set up to calculate depreciation for the specified period.
  
  
  Asset Status: The asset may be in a status that prevents depreciation from being posted, such as being retired or under construction.
  
  
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed or not open for depreciation postings.
  
  
  Asset Class Settings: The asset class may have specific settings that prevent depreciation from being calculated or posted.
