Hi Kishore,
This type of errors may occur while posting the asset postings and depreciation's.
There are several places in Customizing of Asset Accounting where you can make specifications on managing negative values.This note gives you an overview of the purposes for the different parameters.
- 1. The 'Negative values allowed' indicator in the detail screen of the depreciation areas in the asset master record.
You can also set this indicator at the level of asset classes in Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class --> Depreciation areas --> Detail screen.
Set this indicator, if negative APC and positive depreciation are to be allowed on the affected assets contrary to the setting in the asset class.In particular, this may be required for:
- Investment support which is managed as a negative asset.
- Special assets which manage the gain through sale of an asset other than a write-up.
- Assets under construction, if a subsequent credit memo must be updated after a final settlement that has already been carried out.
- When you create a legacy asset (AS91), if the APC was negative at the beginning of the current year.
- Assets which were sold by the manufacturer with moving purchase warranty and which are depreciated by the manufacturer.Here a negative asset is created in addition to the asset on which the receipts (for example, installment payments) are managed (EITF sales).
The 'Negative values allowed' indicator has no effects as long as the net book value is positive.It is only in the year in which the net book value becomes negative that all net book value validations are deactivated in the depreciation calculation.This function together with a cut-off value key causes that the calculation continues even after reaching the cut-off value.
The indicator is not required if a below zero depreciation is to be calculated for assets of this class. 'Dep. below NBValue zero' in the calculation key (as of Release 4.6A in the base method) is required for this and a negative net book value must beallowed. You must not set the indicator for depreciation areas which as a rule manage negative values by area definition (for example areas for investment support managed on the liabilities side or transferred reserves).
- 2. 'Negative net book value' in the detail screen of the definition of the depreciation areas
Set this indicator if you want to allow negative net book values in this depreciation area.
For example this is required for derived areas for the determination of accumulated depreciation to be managed on the liabilities side (reserve for special depreciation).
The negative net book value must also be allowed for depreciation areas which are used for the display of reserves.In this case you must ensure that positive depreciation is allowed for the reserves (in Customizing under Depreciation --> Ordinary Depreciation --> Determine Depreciation Areas).
If you set the indicator 'Dep. below NBValue zero' in the calculation key, the system only does this in areas which allow a negative net book value.
The system automatically sets the indicator internally for areas which exclusively manage investment support. Caution
We urgently advise you against using both functions at the same time.This may have the effect for example that it may be depreciated or written up in an alternating way around the net book value zero at the end of useful life if you depreciate from the net book value.
Please also note that assets with negative net book value and assets with positive net book value must not belong to the same group asset.
