• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 64852 - New book value is zero ?

  The SAP error message "64852 New book value is zero" typically occurs in the context of asset accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to post a transaction related to an asset, and the system determines that the new book value of the asset after the transaction would be zero. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during asset retirement, transfer, or when performing a depreciation run.
  Causes:
  
  Asset Retirement: If you are trying to retire an asset and the retirement value is equal to the current book value, the new book value after the retirement would be zero.
  Depreciation Calculation: If the depreciation calculation results in a book value that is zero or negative, this error may occur.
  Transfer of Asset: When transferring an asset, if the transfer value is equal to the current book value, the new book value may be calculated as zero.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the asset or the transaction type being used.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review the Transaction: Check the details of the transaction you are trying to post. Ensure that the values being entered are correct and that they make sense in the context of the asset's lifecycle.
  Check Asset Values: Look at the asset's current book value, acquisition value, and any accumulated depreciation. Ensure that the values are set correctly and that the asset is not being retired or transferred incorrectly.
  Adjust Depreciation: If the error occurs during a depreciation run, review the depreciation settings for the asset. You may need to adjust the depreciation method or the useful life of the asset.
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP FI-AA configuration team to ensure that the asset accounting settings are correct.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like AS03 (Display Asset) to review the asset details and AS02 (Change Asset) to make necessary adjustments.
