Fixed Assets Retire & undo Retire Errors

[Shariq]

I get the following message when retiring a Fixed Asset:
Return Code 16 (End of File) on Script FA_Retire_Asset.
and, then, the FA Inquiry shows the Asset Status as Retired.

Now, when I go to Retire Undo to retire this asset; I get the following error:
Return Code 2 on script FA_Get_Period_Info. Date: 0/0/0000
The error Log displays the following:
2/10/2006 6:37:23 PM FA_Get_Period_Info
Return Code 2 on script Calculate_GL_Period Date: 0/0/0000


How do I fix these errors so it would unretire and then retire wothout any
errors.

Hey Shariq,

It is a pleasure to switch roles on this one with you.

Check the following:

1. You have the retirement accounts defined for the fixed asset.
2. Run GL transaction routine before running the fixed asset retirement.
3. Run GL transaction routine after running the retirement but before
running the undo process.
4. I would also run the reconcile on fixed assets.


When you retire the fixed asset, check the details in inquiry>fixed
asset>financial detail.

Jack,
Thanks for you suggestions.
In my case, something went wrong with this asset while retiring and nothing
could help. The following is what I did to get it fixed but I still need to
know what may have caused these errors to come up and how to prevent them
happening in the future.

Using Query Analyzer; I set the ASSETSTATUS in FA00100 table from 4 to ' '
and then changed it back to 1. The Asset become Active and then I was able to
retire without any errors. This may not be the right path but I couldn't find
any other ways to get it fixed.

I will still look forward to get this
