FA Disposal after migration - Book Period cannot be found in the system

Hey, gang - not too familiar with FA’s, so if anyone can point me to whatever I missed, it would be greatly appreciated.  I’ve migrated the customer’s list of FA’s into the system (in Initialization Mode) and they are asking to dispose of some FAs in some older periods.  However, when I attempt to do this, I get the “Book Period cannot be found in the system.” error in the Disposal Period field when using a date back in 2015 (as an example).

 

However, I do have book calendar’s set up going back to 1990.

 

 

That said, the system is only allowing the selection of open periods as dictated by the Master Financial Calendar which, as it stands, only goes back to 2022 as of now.  They aren’t live, so I can always take a snapshot and reconfigure an earlier financial year and generate periods that way, but I’m curious if there is another way to generate additional periods from previous years that have not yet been generated.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    HI ​@nickcerri32 

    Since the customer is not live yet:

    1. Go to: Finance → General Ledger → Configure → Financial Calendar (GL201000)
    2. Create a new financial year as early as needed (e.g., 2015 or older)
    3. Click “Generate Periods” for that year
    4. Repeat for any additional earlier years needed

    Once the Master Financial Calendar includes those periods, the system will allow FA disposals in those dates.

     

    Generating FA Book Calendars alone is not enough.
    You must generate GL financial periods for the disposal period.

    Thanks, ​@Kandy Beatty .  I can’t add any previous years on the Master Financial Calendar, and I was only under the impression you could only add later years.  However, I’ve already shifted the first year to the earliest instance of a Fixed Asset, but I don’t get the option to create periods.  Further shifts don’t allow for period generation either.  Not a huge deal as we can address this during cutover, but curious if there was a backend way of handling it.

      Yes, FA is always tricky. Not my favorite by far.
