How To Fix VAL820 - Impairment was posted using rate of amortized acqusition value

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 820

• Message text: Impairment was posted using rate of amortized acqusition value

What causes this issue?

To avoid a change of sign of the amortized acquisition value in
valuation currency (for example to avoid negative amortized acquistion
value of an asset position), the impairment was not posted using the
book exchange rate. Instead, the amount in valuation currency of the
impairment posting was determined based on the implicit foreign currency
rate of the amortized acqusition value.
