How To Fix AU390 - Values for &3 have changed in dep. area &1 in fiscal year &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AU - FI-AA utility program error messages

• Message number: 390

• Message text: Values for &3 have changed in dep. area &1 in fiscal year &2

What causes this issue?

Depreciation terms were changed in depreciation area &v1& since the
last time depreciation was recalculated. The values for &v3& that were
saved in the database in fiscal year &v2& are therefore different from
the newly calculated values by an amount of &v4&.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check if the newly calculated values are correct. If they are, then
carry out a depreciation recalculation. You should be aware that if you
recalculate depreciation, new values could arise for all open fiscal
years, and these would then have to be posted to the general ledger by
means of a depreciation posting run.
If, on the other hand, you want to keep the values that are saved in
the database, you have to set the depreciation terms back to how they
were at the time of the last depreciation recalculation.
To see a comparison of the old and new values, you can use the
<ZK>Display dep. calc.</> function in the asset value display or the
<ZK>Recalculate values</> function in the Asset Accounting menu.
