Hi sekhar,

Reverse the Depriciation and then create new account set this account with ur depriciation account and then re-run the Depriciation

Thanks for your answer, but still i have a doubt, for example
accounting entries transfered from assets to gl is that possible to run roll back depreciation for the closing periods also.

If you have run the final depreciation and closed the period for that book, then you cannot do anything. You may do depreciation adjustment in the next period.

Hi...
As you mentioned..You already ran depreciation for 3 months. Know your client wants to change the accu depren account.
I believe the 3 months FA Journal entries were posted in GL. Even dough your 3 months FA Periods are not closed.
Once you post FA Journal entries in GL then if you try to run Roll Back Journal entries the concurrent program will eroor out.
Roll Back journal entries concurrent program will complete normal only when you don't post any FA Journal entries in GL.

Note - If your depreciation periods for 3 months are not closed and 3 months JE's of FA are not posted in GL then you can roll back JE's and Roll Back Depreciation then you can able to change the Accum Deprn account.

In your case you can :1 - If management want the depreciation amout which is already posted in the present accm deprn account to be transfered to the new Accum Derpn account then Create a Manual Journal entry in GL.
2. As you cannot change the Accum Deprn account on Asset Category once you ran deprn .
Disable the present category and Create a new one with the new Accoum Deprn Account.
