  The SAP error message AAPO136, which states "Acquisition transfer: Depr. area does not manage reserves," typically occurs during the transfer of asset acquisition values in Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there is a mismatch in the configuration of depreciation areas related to reserves.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Depreciation Area Configuration: The depreciation area involved in the acquisition transfer is not set up to manage reserves.

If the depreciation area is not configured to manage reserves, the system will throw this error.

  Check Depreciation Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAYZ).
  Review the settings for the relevant depreciation area. Ensure that the depreciation area is configured to manage reserves if it is supposed to handle such transactions.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:

  Adjust Transfer Posting:
  
  If the transfer posting is being done incorrectly, ensure that the correct depreciation area is being used for the acquisition transfer.
