AC106 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AC - Error messages from Asset Customizing

• Message number: 106

• Message text: Remaining no. of units will be negative in co.code &1, key &2. Correct.

What causes this issue?

The remaining number of units, calculated from the total number of
units and the specified number of units per period, is negative (&V3)
when you use depreciation key &V2& in company code &V1&. The maximum
amount which you can divide up over the individual periods is the
specified total number of units.
Please be aware of the following special case. Assume that the
remaining number of units is zero for the last maintained period in a
fiscal year, and the output for the period is greater than zero. Then
the remaining number of units for this period will be negative, which
is not displayed, however, until the following period.
If the number of units per period exceeds the total number of units,
this leads to depreciation below a book value of zero. The base method
of the unit-of-production depreciation key does not allow for
depreciation below zero, due to one of the following reasons:
The corresponding indicator is not set.
The book value/remaining units method is selected, which, by
definition, does not allow depreciation below zero.
