SAP Note 21625 - Reversal -> EM AA629 with deprec. area in currency

Symptom:

When posting credit memos to fixed assets with AB01 / FB01 at the full amount or when settling those orders/WBS element credit memos to AuC or assets under construction or completed assets with KO88/CJ88, message AA629 is displayed:
"Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area &."
Area & is not managed in local currency.

Cause and prerequisites

The credit memo is posted/settled with another posting date as the original acquisition so that it is transferred with another exchange rate from table TCURR. As a result, a balance occurs in the foreign currency.

Solution
The credit memo should be posted with the same posting date as the original acquisition. The translation date is taken from the original posting date unless it is explicity stated otherwise. If the posting period of the original acquistion is no longer open, the credit memo must be entered with the posting date of the acquistion as the translation date of it (the credit memo) is being posted with a posting date in the current period. The acquisition can be reversed with a new posting date using the special reverse transactions AB08 / FB08. In this case, the amounts translated in foreign currency are copied from the original document and not translated at the new posting date.
