Message text: Define depreciation area correctly
You are creating a new depreciation area &V1& in chart of depreciation
&V2&. You did not enter a depreciation area from which depreciation
terms are to be adopted.
This may be correct under normal circumstances, but when you use the
"New depreciation area" function to create a depreciation area after
production startup, you have to enter a reference depreciation area.
The system uses the depreciation terms of this reference area as base
values, in addition to those from the asset class.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
In FI-AA Customizing, check the specifications for the new depreciation
area.
