Message no.8Z876 No time base defined for the revaluation key -Problem ABAW

Question

Hello,
I have a problem... I have a revaluation area (04: in local currency) and a parallel revaluation area (05: in hard currency) and I have to revaluate an asset, but I couldn't with Tx ABAW. The error is :
Message no. 8Z876 No time base defined for the revaluation key
I checked the configuration and I think it's all ok. I did some tests and I could revaluate only the Area 04 (local currency). Example:
Area 04: 500000 PEN
Area 05: 0 USD.
But this is a big problem for example when I make a transfer the asset to other because the revaluation Area doesn't transfer.
Can anybody please tell me how resolve this?
Regards,
Fernando
PD: I'm so sorry for my grammatical errors, I'm spanish speaker

Hi
The error
message 8Z 876 can be shown for two basic things:
1. TBE (Time Base exposure variant) is not maintained.
   Please check if any time base is maintained for the revaluation key.
And if it have all the intervals correctly defined and the post flag
marked for the months required to calculate revalaution.
   If it is maintained please check if the last revaluation date is
filled in your revaluation areas. If the last revaluation date field is
blank, the time base must have the following entry: 31.12.XXXX-1 where
XXXX is the current fiscal year (for ABAW).
2. In the ABAW transaction itself you are trying to post values to any
of the parallel areas defined in the chart of depreciation.
   In transaction ABAW (or AB01) do not post any amount to parallel
areas. The posted values should be equal to zero.
   The values in hard currency will never be revaluated by the inflation
program. If this is the case, please enter manually only zero values as
"Amount posted" in those parallel areas.
If by some specific reasons you still plan to post (manually) to these
parallel areas, you will get error message 8z876 in accordance to your
explanation of the problem.
   To allow posting of non-zero amounts to these areas, you need to
create Revaluation Key NULO. To do this, go to the customizing system
IMG (transaction SPRO) according to the link:
IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Special Valuation ->
        Revaluation of Fixed Assets -> Revaluation for the Balance Sheet
        -> Inflation -> Maintain Revaluation Keys
Create new entry (click F5) for key with name NULO, And save data
(Ctrl+S).
  Please, adjust your customizing in accordance with the instructions
above.
