Run the Depreciation Close process (AM_DPCLOSE) to generate period depreciation entries for all depreciable assets in a particular accounting period, including lease payments and offset accounts for the period.  You can run this process only for accounting periods that have not yet been closed in Asset Management.

Run this process only once for each accounting period, and only after all of the transaction activity for the period has been completed.
