• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GCS109 - Depreciation of vehicles is greater than gross value ?

  The SAP error message GCS109 indicates that the depreciation amount for a vehicle asset exceeds its gross value. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when the system attempts to calculate depreciation for an asset that has already been fully depreciated or when the depreciation settings are incorrectly configured.
  Cause:

  Asset Revaluation: If the asset was revalued, the new gross value may not align with the depreciation calculations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Status: Verify the asset's status in the Asset Accounting module. If it is fully depreciated, no further depreciation should be posted.
  Review Depreciation Settings: Check the depreciation key and settings for the asset. Ensure that the useful life and depreciation method are correctly configured.
  Adjust Asset Values: If there have been manual adjustments or revaluations, ensure that the asset's gross value and accumulated depreciation are correctly aligned.
