• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA805 - Net book value in area & is greater than 0 ?

  The SAP error message AA805 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the asset accounting area where the net book value of an asset is greater than zero, but the system is trying to perform an action that is not allowed under these circumstances. This typically occurs during asset retirement, transfer, or other transactions that require the asset to have a net book value of zero.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Retirement or Transfer: The error often arises when attempting to retire or transfer an asset that still has a net book value greater than zero.
  Incomplete Depreciation: The asset may not have been fully depreciated, meaning that there is still a remaining value that needs to be accounted for.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the asset accounting settings in SAP, leading to inconsistencies in how asset values are calculated or reported.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Depreciation: Review the asset's depreciation schedule to ensure that it has been fully depreciated. If not, you may need to run the depreciation program to bring the net book value down to zero.
  Review Asset Transactions: Ensure that there are no pending transactions that could affect the asset's value. This includes checking for any unposted transactions or adjustments.
  Adjust Asset Values: If the asset is to be retired or transferred, you may need to adjust the asset's value through a manual adjustment or by posting a write-off to bring the net book value to zero.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the asset accounting settings are correctly configured and that there are no inconsistencies in the asset master data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like AS03 (Display Asset), ABAVN (Unplanned Depreciation), or ABT1N (Transfer within Company Code) to investigate the asset's status and perform necessary actions.
