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?
