Empty depreciation batch

[guppsala]

Hi,

I'm now at my last fiscal period and wanted to process depreciation batch through Depreciation batch List entry (New/Process). I see the system is calcultating, but it is not generating any entry (normally I have around 250 entries). I made the mistake of posting the empty batch to see if it would fix the problem - it posted but without any depreciation entry. Now when I want to create a new batch it says "Incorrect procedure must do year end processing first"... How can I correct this?

Thank you very much

I am using ACCPAC 5.2A

Restore from backup.
Posting an empty batch was not the brightest thing to do. You should have deleted the empty batch and run depreciation again.

I tried that twice (deleting and retrying) and it was still empty.

Thanks for your answer.

Then something is wrong with your data.

Admittedly, I should not have posted that batch, but having to restore form backup just to correct this is a huge weakness in Accpac's infrastructure. How can you not be able to unpost a depreciation batch.

Your problem is unique, it's never been reported before, so there must be some information we don't have about the circumstances. I don't think you had anything to post because somebody ran the revaluation, deleted the batch that was created, then tried to run revaluation again.

FWIW, you can unpost any GL batch by reversing it.

Welcome to the real world. The depreciation period is closed when you post the batch, you cannot go back to that period and rerun depreciation for that same period. This is a strength in accounting systems, it maintains data integrity and audit trails. Contact Norming support at support@norming.com if you want their input.

Ettienne,

I appreciate your input but for your future replies with other users, believe me what they don't want to hear is "that was not the brightest idea" and "welcome to the real world" That doesn't really help.

I will try to restore from backup

Chill out, reality hurts.
