FAA_MD158 - Details

• The SAP error message FAA_MD158 indicates that deactivation of an asset is not possible because the specified area has values that are derived from the revaluation of the Acquisition and Production Cost (APC). This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you attempt to deactivate an asset that has been revalued, and the system prevents this action to maintain data integrity.
  
  Cause:
  
  Revaluation of APC: The asset in question has undergone a revaluation process, which means that its acquisition cost has been adjusted. This adjustment creates values in the asset's depreciation areas that are tied to the revaluation.
  Active Depreciation Areas: The asset may have active depreciation areas that are still reflecting the revalued amounts, making it impossible to deactivate the asset without addressing these values.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Depreciation Areas: Review the depreciation areas associated with the asset. Identify which areas have values
