How To Fix VAL021 - Impairment leads to inconsistent amortized acquisition value.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VAL - Treasury: Messages for General Valuation

• Message number: 021

• Message text: Impairment leads to inconsistent amortized acquisition value.

What causes this issue?

You are trying to post an impairment. This impairment posting would
result in inconsistent amortized acquisition values (for example,
negative amortized acquisition values for an active position).
The calculation of the impairment posting is based on the book values
(including all previous valuations). However, the valuations are not
part of the amortized acquisition value. This could lead to negative
amortized acquisition values if the previous valuations are not
reset/reversed.

System Response

No impairment posting is made.

How to fix this error?

Either the previous (realized and/or unrealized) valuations are reset by
the impairment procedure (setting the corresponding indicators in
imparment procedure &V1& - see
<DS:SIMG.TRGV_IMP_PROC>Define Impairment Procedure</>) or only
valuations with reset are used (that is, all valuations without reset
before the impairment key date have to be reversed).
