Issue No.: 44
The user acquired his first set of assets in the month of February 2008 and is trying to run depreciation starting from February. While running depreciation, the system returns the following message: "According to the posting cycle, you should post period 001 next. Either enter period 001, which corresponds to the posting cycle, or request an unplanned posting run explicitly for this parameter."

If your posting cycle is monthly, then your SAP solution expects depreciation to run for every period in sequential order. So, you can't run February until you have completed the January depreciation run. Since you have acquired assets in the month of February, you are not running depreciation for the month of January. However, SAP R/3 is expecting you to run depreciation for January also. To overcome this, you have to do one of the following:
(1) run depreciation for the month of January and then the month of February or
(2) select the unplanned posting run for February. The unplanned run lets you skip over periods (in instances like this).
