• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_RE090 - Depreciation cannot be greater than 100% ?

  The SAP error message CMS_RE090, which states "Depreciation cannot be greater than 100%," typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when the system detects that the calculated depreciation for an asset exceeds the total acquisition cost of that asset. This situation can arise due to various reasons, such as incorrect configuration, data entry errors, or issues with the asset's depreciation settings.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Depreciation Key: The depreciation key assigned to the asset may be configured incorrectly, allowing for a depreciation rate that exceeds 100%.
  Manual Adjustments: Manual adjustments or entries in the asset master data may have inadvertently set the depreciation to an excessive value.
  Asset Acquisition Cost: The acquisition cost of the asset may have been incorrectly entered or updated, leading to a situation where the depreciation calculation exceeds the cost.
  Depreciation Calculation Method: The method used for calculating depreciation (e.g., straight-line, declining balance) may not be appropriate for the asset type or may have been set up incorrectly.
  Asset Retirement or Sale: If an asset is retired or sold, and the depreciation is not adjusted accordingly, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Depreciation Key: Check the depreciation key assigned to the asset and ensure it is configured correctly. Make sure that the maximum depreciation percentage does not exceed 100%.
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data for any incorrect entries, especially the acquisition cost and any manual adjustments made to the depreciation.
  Adjust Depreciation Calculation: If the depreciation method is incorrect, consider changing it to a more appropriate method that aligns with the asset's usage and expected lifespan.
  Correct Manual Entries: If there were any manual entries that led to the error, correct them to ensure that the depreciation does not exceed the acquisition cost.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on the depreciation settings and calculations for your organization.
