• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FILA_WRITE_DOWN126 - Residual value can be adjusted ?

  The SAP error message FILA_WRITE_DOWN126 indicates that there is an issue with the residual value of an asset in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. Specifically, it suggests that the residual value of the asset can be adjusted, which typically occurs during the process of asset write-downs or adjustments.
  Cause:
  
  Residual Value Setting: The asset has a defined residual value that is not being met due to the current depreciation or write-down process.
  Depreciation Calculation: The system may be trying to calculate depreciation that would reduce the asset's value below its defined residual value.
  Asset Master Data: There may be inconsistencies or incorrect settings in the asset master data, particularly in the depreciation areas or the residual value settings.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type used for the write-down may not allow for adjustments to the residual value.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and review the settings for the asset, particularly the depreciation areas and the defined residual value.
  Ensure that the residual value is set correctly and that it aligns with your company's accounting policies.
  
  
  
  Adjust Residual Value:
  
  If necessary, adjust the residual value in the asset master data to allow for the write-down. This can be done in the asset master record under the relevant depreciation area.
  
  
  
  Review Depreciation Calculation:
  
  Check the depreciation calculation settings to ensure that they are configured correctly and that the asset is not being depreciated below its residual value.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct transaction type for the write-down. Some transaction types may have restrictions on adjusting the residual value.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the configuration of your asset accounting module.
  
  
  
  Run Asset Reports:
  
  Use asset reports (such as S_ALR_87011963) to analyze the asset's depreciation and residual value to identify any discrepancies.
