• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECERA004 - First reverse the subsequent valuation posting &1 for contract &2 ?

  The SAP error message RECERA004 indicates that there is an issue with reversing a valuation posting for a contract. This error typically occurs in the context of contract accounting or asset management when you attempt to reverse a posting that has subsequent postings dependent on it.
  Cause:
  The error message RECERA004 is triggered when you try to reverse a valuation posting (like a depreciation or revaluation) for a contract that has subsequent valuation postings. In other words, there are later entries that rely on the valuation posting you are trying to reverse, and SAP requires that these subsequent entries be reversed first before you can reverse the original posting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Subsequent Postings: 
  
  Use transaction codes like AW01N (Asset Explorer) or S_ALR_87012086 (Asset History Sheet) to check for any subsequent postings related to the contract in question.
  Look for any entries that were made after the valuation posting you are trying to reverse.
  
  
  
  Reverse Subsequent Postings:
  
  Reverse the subsequent postings first. This may involve using transaction codes like AB08 (for reversing asset postings) or other relevant transactions depending on the type of posting.
  Ensure that all dependent postings are reversed successfully.
  
  
  
  Reverse the Original Valuation Posting:
  
  Once all subsequent postings have been reversed, you can now proceed to reverse the original valuation posting using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., AB08).
  
  
  
  Check for Errors: 
  
  After reversing, check for any additional errors or messages that may arise and address them accordingly.
