  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data to ensure that the currency is correctly set and that there are no discrepancies. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record (transaction code AS03).
  Avoid Currency Changes: If you need to change the currency for an asset, you will typically need to create a new asset in the desired currency and transfer the values from the old asset to the new one.
