Issue No.: 36
While capitalizing assets, the user capitalized $10,000. During the year-end process, the user realized he has wrongly capitalized $10,000 instead of $7,000. Now the user wants to rectify this by posting a credit transaction through transaction code F-90. While crediting, SAP R/3 returns the following message: "acquisition value negative in the area 15." What does this mean? How can you solve this issue and correctly post the document? Is there any other way to decapitalize an asset?
To see the negative book value check box, you will have to first activate it in the screen layout. To do this, go to Master Data → Screen layout for Asset depreciation areas, select the screen layout attached to the asset class to which the asset in question belongs, and click on Field group rules. Here you can make negative values optional. If you want to allow the negative book value for all of the assets created in that particular asset class, follow the menu path: Valuation → depreciation areas → Determine depreciation areas in the asset class. Select the asset class, click on the depreciation area, and check the negative book value check box.While capitalizing assets, the user capitalized $10,000.

If you want to allow negative book values only for a particular asset, you can use transaction code AS02. Go to the Depreciation tab, double-click on depreciation area 15, and then check the negative values allowed check box.
