• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA624 - Ordinary depreciation positive in area & ?

  The SAP error message AA624 ("Ordinary depreciation positive in area &") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is an inconsistency in the depreciation calculation for an asset. This error indicates that the system has detected a situation where ordinary depreciation is expected to be negative (for example, in the case of a reversal or adjustment) but is instead positive.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The asset may be incorrectly configured in terms of its depreciation settings, leading to unexpected positive depreciation.
  Manual Adjustments: Manual entries or adjustments made to the asset's depreciation may have resulted in a positive value when it should not be.
  Posting Errors: There may have been errors in previous postings that have led to an incorrect state of the asset's depreciation.
  Asset Retirement or Sale: If an asset has been retired or sold, but the depreciation has not been properly adjusted, it can lead to this error.
  Depreciation Key Issues: The depreciation key assigned to the asset may not be set up correctly, leading to incorrect calculations.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Asset Configuration: Review the asset master data and ensure that the depreciation areas and keys are configured correctly.
  Review Depreciation Calculation: Check the depreciation calculation for the asset in question. You can do this by running the transaction code AW01N (Asset Explorer) and reviewing the depreciation values.

  Recalculate Depreciation: If the asset has been incorrectly depreciated, you may need to recalculate the depreciation. This can be done using the transaction code AFAB (Run Depreciation).
  Check for Retirements: If the asset has been retired or sold, ensure that all necessary adjustments have been made to the asset's depreciation.
