Make the best use of Depreciation Rollback!

Depreciation process in asset, includes lot of complex calculations and we might want to check if the Depreciation calculated is accurate before the same is posted to Journal.
One good new is, starting from 11i, depreciation rollback feature is introduced. If you run the depreciation without closing the period, you can rollback the same if some descrepencies are identified.
The following sequence of asset depreciation process can be followed, to make the best use of depreciation rollback feature.
1. Run Depreciation (without closing the period).
2. Run Create Journal Entries - Standard (FAPOST).
3. Review FA reports and verify results are as expected.
4. Review the FA journals in GL to verify results are as expected.

If everything is correct:
5. Resubmit Depreciation (close the period).
6. Do not run Create Journal Entries - Standard again.
7. Post the FA journals already created in GL from #2.

If corrections are necessary in FA:
8. Run Rollback Journal Entries.
9. Run Rollback Depreciation.
10. Make the necessary corrections in FA.
11. Repeat the process starting with #1.

Important : Depreciation cannot be rolled back without rolling back journals first. If this is done, Rollback Depreciation will error with message to rollback Create Journals.
The period should not be closed until the FA subledger is verified accurate and complete.
