• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/ASSET104 - Reval. dep. area is not allowed for derived depreciation area ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/ASSET104 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of depreciation areas in the Asset Accounting module. Specifically, it states that the revaluation depreciation area is not allowed for a derived depreciation area. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch in the settings for depreciation areas in the asset master data or in the configuration of the asset accounting settings.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The derived depreciation area is not set up correctly in the configuration settings. Derived depreciation areas are typically used to derive values from other depreciation areas, and if the revaluation area is not allowed for this derived area, it will trigger this error.
  Asset Master Data: The asset master record may have incorrect settings for the depreciation areas, leading to conflicts when trying to perform revaluation.
  Inconsistent Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the settings between the different depreciation areas, such as the revaluation area not being properly linked to the derived area.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: SPRO).

  Adjust Settings:
  
  If necessary, adjust the settings in the configuration to allow the revaluation for the derived depreciation area.
  You may need to consult with your SAP FI/CO consultant to ensure that the changes align with your organization's accounting policies.
