This typically occurs when the accumulated depreciation for an asset under construction is incorrectly calculated or when there are inconsistencies in the asset's configuration or postings.

  Depreciation Calculation Issues: The depreciation method or parameters may not be set correctly, leading to excessive depreciation being calculated.
  Asset Transfers: If the asset was transferred or revalued incorrectly, it could lead to discrepancies in the gross value and accumulated depreciation.

  Check Asset Configuration: Review the asset master data to ensure that all settings (such as useful life, depreciation method, and acquisition value) are correct.
  Review Depreciation Calculation: Analyze the depreciation calculation settings and ensure that they are appropriate for the asset type.
