Hi all,
Can I have your advise how to handle below case? Thanks in advance.
I have an asset with zero value and 5 units quantity.
Now I want to retire 3 units.
I want to have a record that 3 units are retired and only 2 units left in my asset master.
Thanks again,
Best Regards,
Gary
Hi Gary,
How the asset has a zero value? Please explain clearly.

Mukthar

Hi Gary,
The answer is "No". In your case you cannot reduce the qunatity of the asset via posting transaction.
This is because the quantity value in FI-AA is linked to the leading area 01. So for a posting to affect the quantity of the asset, it is necessary to update the value in area 01.
If no value is posted in area 01 (which is the case when doing a retirement for an asset without APC), the posting cannot contain any quantity.
You can find further info on this e.g in notes like 387339 and 796597.
It is possible to modify the standard system behavior and to decouple quantity from area 01, but I do not recommend to do so. Instead you should follow the advice to update the quantity via AS02 manually. Also an asset without any value but with quantity is really strange. So maybe it's not really the best approach to fulfill your requirement and there is some alternative option.
Best regards, Michael
