  The SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL182 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation values in the Asset Accounting module. Specifically, it suggests that a depreciation value exists as either a revaluation or nominal depreciation, which is causing a conflict.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Depreciation Entries: There may be multiple entries for the same asset that are conflicting, such as both revaluation and nominal depreciation being recorded for the same period.
  Incorrect Configuration: The asset might be incorrectly configured in the system, leading to inconsistencies in how depreciation is calculated or recorded.
  Posting Period Issues: The error can occur if there are issues with the posting periods, such as trying to post depreciation in a closed period or a period that does not allow for certain types of postings.
