  SAP Error Message WR059
  Message Text:
  
  Gross or net revaluation balance missing for partial revaluation
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the asset revaluation process (usually in Asset Accounting, transaction codes like AR01, AR02, or during depreciation posting) when you attempt a partial revaluation of an asset, but the system cannot find the necessary gross or net revaluation balance for the asset in question.
  More specifically:
  
  The system expects a revaluation balance (either gross or net) to be present for the asset to perform a partial revaluation.
  If the asset has no existing revaluation balance or the balance is zero/missing, the system cannot calculate the partial revaluation.
  This can happen if:
  
  The asset was never revalued before (no prior revaluation balance).
  The asset master data or asset ledger is inconsistent or incomplete.
  The revaluation method or parameters are incorrectly set.
  The asset is not flagged for revaluation or the revaluation area is not properly maintained.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WR059 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data:
  
  Verify that the asset is flagged for revaluation.
  Check if the asset has a valid revaluation area and revaluation method assigned.
  
  
  
  Verify Existing Revaluation Balances:
  
  Use transaction AR01 (Asset History Sheet) or AW01N (Asset Explorer) to check if the asset has any existing revaluation balances.
  If no prior revaluation balance exists, you cannot perform a partial revaluation. You may need to perform a full revaluation first.
  
  
  
  Perform Full Revaluation First:
  
  If this is the first revaluation for the asset, perform a full revaluation to establish the initial revaluation balance.
  After the full revaluation, partial revaluations can be done.
  
  
  
  Check Revaluation Parameters:
  
  Review the configuration in Asset Accounting Customizing (transaction SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Asset Accounting ? Valuation ? Revaluation).
  Ensure that the revaluation areas and methods are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Check Document and Posting Data:
  
  Sometimes, inconsistencies in posted documents or asset ledger entries cause this error.
  Run reconciliation reports and correct any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to WR059 for your SAP version.
  Sometimes, patches or corrections are available.

  AW01N - Asset Explorer (to view asset values and revaluation balances)
  ABUMN - Transfer within company code (sometimes related to asset value changes)

  SAP Modules:
  
  Asset Accounting (FI-AA)

  Typical Scenario:
  
  You try to post a partial revaluation (e.g., only part of the asset value is revalued).
  The system expects a base revaluation balance to calculate the difference.
  If missing, the system throws WR059.
