Check the last reorganization date of the asset in asset master record
maintenance. Depreciation postings are only allowed in posting periods
after this date.

Procedure for System Administrators

You can set up the appearance of this system message according to your
requirements. In Customizing, choose <ZH>Asset Accounting ->
Transactions -> Maintain Message Types.</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

You can find the application area and the message number in the
technical information.
If you change the message type to "-", then the system no longer rejects
a depreciation posting for the asset with a warning message. However, in
that case, the user still has to check if the correct asset balance
before the reorganization has to be transferred afterward to the account
assignment object (such as profit center), because a complete transfer
of the asset took place during the reorganization.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AAPO522 - Asset &1 was already reorganized after the posting period ?

  The SAP error message AAPO522 indicates that an asset has already been reorganized after the posting period you are trying to process. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when you attempt to post transactions or make changes to an asset that has already undergone a reorganization process, which can include activities like depreciation runs or asset transfers.
  Cause:
  
  Reorganization Process: The asset in question has already been reorganized, meaning that its data has been updated or changed in a way that is not compatible with the current posting period.
  Posting Period Closure: The posting period you are trying to access may be closed, and any changes to assets in that period are restricted.
  Transaction Timing: The transaction you are trying to execute is being attempted after the asset has been processed in a way that prevents further changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period you are trying to access is open. You can do this by navigating to the period control settings in SAP.
  Review Asset Status: Check the status of the asset to confirm if it has indeed been reorganized. You can do this by reviewing the asset master data and transaction history.
  Reorganization Logs: Look at the reorganization logs to understand what changes have been made to the asset and when. This can provide insight into why the error is occurring.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the reorganization process or the implications of the error, consult with your finance or accounting team to understand the correct procedures.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like AS03 for display asset, or AW01N for asset explorer) to gather more information about the asset and its history.
  Post in the Correct Period: If the asset has been reorganized in a previous period, you may need to post your transaction in the correct period where the asset is still active and not reorganized.
