This error indicates that a configuration or input value is set incorrectly, specifically that an upper limit for a certain parameter (like depreciation) is set to zero or is not defined properly.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Configuration: The upper limit for a depreciation area or a specific asset might be set to zero or not defined, which is not allowed.
