As explained under Recalculation, there may be changes in values due to the recalculation associated with the calculation update. This is not intended for closed (audited, published annual financial statements) years. The following procedure allows you to update safely:

  1. Switch to the financial years via Master data / Manage accounting and close all years that should no longer be changed.
    To do this, use the "Close financial year" checkbox so that the lock symbol is visible in the overview of financial years.

  2. Via Master data / Set up asset accounting, adjust the "Limit data update" field so that the value corresponds to the first year to be updated and save.

  3. Close all other asset accounting forms and increase the version under "Calculation information" and save. You still need to confirm the following message.

Avoid opening the locked years again. The current calculation method is permanently active and is applied as soon as a "Save event" occurs.
This also applies if the values do not change. Example: You add the serial number and save.
