How can I split an asset in the current year that was fully depreciated in a prior closed year

When we try to split an asset that was fully depreciated in a prior closed year/period, Acumatica tells us we cannot do this without opening up the periods all the way back to the “Last Depreciated Period” of the asset. Unfortunately opening a submodule like FA also opens the GL periods which is undesirable in this case. Considering no GL entry gets posted as the result of the split we are doing, we are not sure why Acumatica stops us from processing a split back in time to a closed period. Other than opening the FA submodule and GL periods, is there a way to accomplish splits to prior year fully depreciated assets without having to do this?

Hi Chris, nothing beyond what ergraham provided above, which likely explains the behavior from a technical standpoint, but doesn’t change the situation or offer any alternatives. It sounds like the only option is to simply open the periods as I originally stated.

Not sure if you ever received an answer but I asked the same question to my VAR and they went to Acumatica and this was the response.

“...the Depreciation to Period, unfortunately, needs to be temporarily reopened to Split Asset. This is used to populate the Tran Period on the Fixed Asset, including the transactions it creates. They did attempt work arounds that did not succeed so seems like this is the only option.”

Not the answer I was hoping for but thought I would share.
