How To Fix AC424 - Depreciation area &1 is already closed for the year &2.

AC424 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AC - Error messages from Asset Customizing

• Message number: 424

• Message text: Depreciation area &1 is already closed for the year &2.

What causes this issue?

Processing terminated, since depreciation area &V1& in company code
&V3& is already closed in fiscal year &V2&.
Area &V1& is linked, through a derived depreciation area, to other
areas that are still open for fiscal year &V2&.

System Response

You chose a function that can change the values in company code &V3&
for the year &V2&. However, for this to work, fiscal year &V2& must be
open for all, or at least certain particular, areas. If the fiscal year
is only open for particular areas, you must ensure that the areas
linked with them through derived areas are also open. The rule here is
that either all the areas dependent on a derived area must be open, or
none of them.

How to fix this error?

Check the last fiscal year closed for the individual depreciation areas
(application menu: Periodic processing -> Fiscal year close).
