System Response

How to fix this error?

The reason that a transfer posting document has a balance may be that
transfer postings were created manually in a two-step procedure. The
first step is posting a retirement document with a retirement transfer
transaction type. The second step is posting an acquisition with an
acquiring transfer transaction type to another asset. If these
documents are not posted in the same posting period, this results in a
balance related to the two posting periods. Since the system creates
documents per posting period for the periodic posting run, there is no
provision for carrying out transfer postings from one posting period to
another.
Another instance in which there might be a balance that is not zero
could be the settlement of an asset under construction to capitalized
assets. A balance that is not zero may occur if the full amount is not
capitalized, while a portion of the amount is posted to costs.
If you do not want the amount of the balance to be posted to
clearing account &V4&, reverse the acquiring transfer document and post
it again in the same period as the retiring transfer posting.
