  • What causes this issue?

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

    System Response

    In the periodic accrual posting run of the Accrual Engine (transaction
    ACEPOSTINGRUN),it is possible to skip periods, i.e. to execute the
    periodic accrual posting run with a posting date that is in a future
    period. This might lead to situation that accrual amounts are doubled.
    For example:
    Accruals are calculated for whole year 2019 with amounts 1000 EUR every
    month. You skip first three periods and post on 30.04.2019, system will
    calculate and post 4000 EUR.
    Then you decide to post on 28.02.2019, engine will calculate and post
    2000 EUR. Now we have in total 6000 EUR posted. This issue can be
    corrected if you run posting in April or in following periods, but if
    not then double amount will remain in the system.

    How to fix this error?

    If you still want to post in past, amount on 30.04.2019 should be
    reversed, and total amount on that date should be 0.
    A reversal of accrual postings can be performed either with transaction
    FB08 or F.80.
    As an alternative to a reversal, it is also possible to perform an
    inverse posting using transaction ACACTREE02 (in case of Manual
    Accruals) or POACTREE03 (in case of Purchase Order Accruals): In the tab
    "Postings" there is an icon "Cancel", mark a posting and press this
    icon/button. This will trigger an inverse posting, i.e. a posting with
    opposite sign. Be careful to press this icon only once, because the
    inverse posting is "just" a new posting with opposite sign.
