SAP Note 23068 - Error msg. E648: Res. book value neg. at start of year

Symptom:

Message AA648 issued during RABUCH00 / recalculation of depreciation/ change of key in AS02.

Cause and prerequisites

An asset class has the characteristics of an AuC class - e.g. the corresponding transaction types 180/181 are allowed, but no concurrent negative acquisition and production costs are allowed in the areas. If the down payment clearing line is posted before the actual receipt, the acquisition value is temporarily negative, and the above error message is issued during the next posting run.

Solution

1. When you post, post the receipts first and then the clearing lines.

2. Set the "Negative APC allowed" flag for the asset class (Master data -> Asset classes -> Change -> Valuation areas).

3. For assets that you have already created, the following repair program can be used to activate field XNEGA in the areas when the above error message is issued.

** Start of program
REPORT zzamxneg.

tables: anlb.

parameters: bukrs for anlb-bukrs obligatory,
anln1 for anlb-anln1 obligatory,
anln2 for anlb-anln2 obligatory.



update anlb set xnega = 'X'
where bukrs eq bukrs
and anln1 eq anln1
and anln2 eq anln2.


commit work.

** End of program

Use transaction SE38, function "Create" to enter the program (attributes: Type 1, application A), then enter the source text.

Then fill the following parameters when you run the report:
BUKRS (company code)
ANLN1 (asset main number)
ANLN2 (asset sub-number)
