• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPSLL/CON_LMGM072 - Maximum amount cannot be less than depreciated amount ?

  The SAP error message /SAPSLL/CON_LMGM072 Maximum amount cannot be less than depreciated amount typically occurs in the context of asset management or financial transactions within the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the maximum allowable amount for a transaction and the amount that has already been depreciated for an asset.
  Cause:
  
  
  Depreciation Calculation: The error arises when the maximum amount set for a transaction (such as a transfer, sale, or write-off of an asset) is less than the amount that has already been depreciated. This means that the system is trying to process a transaction that is not valid because it would result in a negative value for the asset.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect settings in the asset accounting configuration, such as the maximum allowable amounts for transactions not being aligned with the depreciation values.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the transaction process can lead to this error, such as entering a maximum amount that is lower than the depreciated value.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Transaction Values: Check the values entered for the transaction. Ensure that the maximum amount specified is greater than or equal to the depreciated amount of the asset.
  
  
  Adjust Maximum Amount: If the maximum amount is indeed set too low, adjust it to a value that is greater than or equal to the depreciated amount.
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data to ensure that all values, including acquisition costs and accumulated depreciation, are correctly maintained.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to asset accounting and ensure they are correctly configured.
  
  
  Run Reports: Use SAP reports to analyze the asset's depreciation and transaction history to identify any discrepancies.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a recurring issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) to manage asset data.
  Depreciation Methods: Understand the different depreciation methods configured in your system, as they can affect how depreciation is calculated and reported.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed explanations of asset accounting processes and error messages.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
