Error in posting depreciation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello,

Please I need help in finishing my postings on depreciation. whenever I want to post my Fixed Assets G/L, I get the following prompt: ''Document No. = FAN+0453 already exists for Fixed Asset No. = FA0029 in Depreciation Book Code = INT (FA Posting Type = Depreciation).''

Kindly put me through on how to proceed. Thanks

I have the same question (0)

    I think you simply need to make sure you post with a document number that is not already used.

    So update your document number and you should be all good.

    If you are using a number series for document no. you should make sure to adjust the next available no. to a number that is not already used.

    Hello Inge,

    Thank you for your response. I have tried adjusting the number sequence but I keep getting same error message.

    Do you kindly have any other suggestions that might help?

    Warm regards

    Do you have the transactions in a journal or do you run a batch job to post them?

    Maybe you can describe your step by step process briefly?

    Hello Inge,

    The transactions are in the FA G/L Journal. They are the transactions in the FA Journal waiting to be posted after depreciation is calculated. The moment I click on POST, the error message pops up.

    Warm regards

    like Inge mentioned, the document no has been used. you need to check a few spots

    1 check FA ledger entries to find if the no. has been posted, if the posting is correct

    2 check the no. series related to FA posting for the last used no.

    the thing to look out for is other user might manually changed document no. and messed it up. e.g.

    no. from 1 to 10

    1, and 2 used and someone picked 5 to post, so it goes on leaving a gap somewhere. another user hit the issue and pick other random no.

    you could export the fa ledger entry to excel, sorting the no and figure out where the gaps are

    Hi

    Yes, I was able to resolve this. What I did was to discontinue that number series for FA posting and start a new number series.

    Thanks
