3504065 - Error Message Asset val.view : Posting leads to different acquisition cost amount When Posting Business Transaction for Fixed Asset

When trying to execute a fixed asset acquisition posting, such as a individual material transfer, a manual write down or write up, a supplier invoice or a goods receipt the following errors are raised, either directly when trying to post or through an exception in supplier invoice documents*.

"An error occured during depreciation calculation for asset ABC"
"Asset ABC val.view X: Posting leads to different acquisition cost amount"
"Error occurred while determining values to be posted for fixed asset ABC"
"Journal entries for journal entry voucher cannot be simulated"

(ABC represents a Fixed Asset ID, X represents a fixed asset valuation view).

*After accepting the exception the business transaction is sent to accounting which then causes it to appear as unposted source document in the General Ledger, reporting the same errors again.

When creating manual fixed asset postings: 

1. In the Fixed Assets work center go to the Fixed Assets view.
2. Search for Fixed Asset ABC.
3. Press Manual Postings and select the respective transaction, for example, Complete Transfer of Individual Material.
4. Fill all the mandatory data and press Post or Simulate. 
5. The errors "An error occured during depreciation calculation for asset ABC"
   "Asset ABC val.view X: Posting leads to different acquisition cost amount"
   "Error occurred while determining values to be posted for fixed asset ABC"
   "Journal entries for journal entry voucher cannot be simulated/posted " appear. 

When trying to post a supplier invoice distributed to an individual material: 

1. In the Supplier Invoicing work center, in the Invoices and Credit Memos  find the supplier invoice in question.
2. Press Post. 
3. The supplier invoice is not posted but in Exception status.
4. In the Exceptions tab you find the error "An error occured during depreciation calculation for asset ABC ; Posting of invoice not possible due to error in financial accounting ; Asset ABC val.view X: Posting leads to different acquisition cost amount". 
5. Accept the exception.
6. The supplier invoice now appears as unposted source document in the General Ledger reporting the same error. 

A Revaluation posting has been generated for one or more, but not all valuation views of fixed asset ABC.

Due to a code change in SAP Business ByDesign 2405 a verification check has been introduced which triggers the said error message when the acquisition cost is not synchronised between all the asset's valuation views. 

In the example of fixed asset ABC, the revaluation was posted for valuation view A but not for valuation view X. 

You can check this situation as follows: 

1. In the Fixed Assets work center go to the  Fixed Assets view.
2. Search and open Fixed Asset ABC's Values tab.
3. Select valuation view X.
4. In the Book Values sub-tab, take note of the total closing balance.
5. Then select Valuation View A. You notice, the total closing balance is different to the balance for valuation view X.
6. Navigate to the Journal tab of Valuation View A.
7. There is a Revaluation Journal Entry Voucher that was posted only to Valuation View X.

The mentioned code change is being reviewed currently. 

As long as the code change is in place, send on a case to technical support and request and permit SAP to post the respective business transaction by bypassing the valuation view acquisition cost verification check*.

*Alternatively, and only if it suits your business needs, you can create revaluation postings for all valuation views of fixed asset ABC and manually synchronize the asset's acquisition cost this way before posting the business transaction.
