SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AA - Messages for Asset Accounting

• Message number: 615

• Message text: Mean amount from & & exceeds low value asset maximum amount

INCLUDE 'AA_AFA_ERROR' OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE E

What causes this issue?

This posting exceeds the maximum amount for low value assets that are
managed collectively.
This affects depreciation area &V3&. You are trying to post a
transaction for the amount of &V1& &V2& in this depreciation area.
The system calculates the average value per quantity unit from the
acquisition value of the collective asset and the quantity. This amount
is checked against the maximum amount for low-value assets. The amount
you posted exceeds the maximum amount. Therefore, this
posting is not possible.
If you are trying to post a retirement, then the problem could be
slightly different. It could be that it is not the amount per quantity
unit being retired which exceeds the maximum amount. Instead, it could
be that the amount left on the asset, in conjunction with the quantity
units remaining, exceeds the maximum amount.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Possible causes of this error message could be that a quantity has not
been specified or the amount posted was too high. Check your entry and
correct it if necessary.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA615 - Mean amount from & & exceeds low value asset maximum amount ?

  The SAP error message AA615 ("Mean amount from & & exceeds low value asset maximum amount") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to post an asset acquisition or transfer that exceeds the defined limit for low-value assets.
  Cause:
  This error is triggered when the mean value of the asset being processed exceeds the maximum limit set for low-value assets in the system. Low-value assets are typically defined as assets that have a low acquisition cost and can be expensed in the year of acquisition rather than being capitalized and depreciated over time.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Low-Value Asset Threshold:
  
  Review the configuration settings for low-value assets in your SAP system. This can be done in the Customizing settings under:
  
  SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Asset Valuation > Define Low-Value Asset Thresholds.
  
  
  Ensure that the threshold for low-value assets is set appropriately according to your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Asset Acquisition:
  
  If the asset acquisition amount is indeed higher than the low-value asset threshold, consider whether it should be capitalized as a regular asset instead of a low-value asset.
  If it is a mistake in the amount entered, correct the acquisition amount to be within the low-value asset limit.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Check the asset master data to ensure that the asset is correctly classified as a low-value asset if it should be. This includes verifying the asset class and its associated settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the appropriate thresholds or classifications, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  If necessary, you may need to adjust the system configuration to accommodate changes in policy regarding low-value assets.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Asset Classes: Different asset classes may have different thresholds for low-value assets. Make sure to check the specific asset class settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for asset accounting to understand how low-value assets are treated.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) for managing asset data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the AA615 error and ensure that your asset postings comply with the defined thresholds for low-value assets.
