Posting of retirement/transfer not possible(error in asset)

Question

Hi All,
this is regarding intra company asset transfer through transaction code ABUMN. The issue is like below :
Let's say asset code is 764 in 111 asset class & i am transferring this asset to 3615 in 112 asset class through ABUMN.
Actaully in 2004, a part of the asset value has already been retired with scrap.So now the requirement is complete transfer the remaining amount. So while trasfer, the error shows and not allowing to post the transaction.
There are several depreciation areas in the asset. The depreciation has been calculated for all the dep. area except 42(for US)
As this book has pending the dep. since 2004, system doesn't allow to trasfer this asset. For this purpose, i have tried AFAR, ASKB but the issue is not solved.
Kindly revert back with your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
In most cases AA 465 is due to recalculation errors in the past on the asset in question. From your information I assume this is probaby due to depreciation area 42.         
I do not know how you were able to close all following fiscal years if errors existed         
on the assets with pending depreciation since 2004.                                                                               
As you known, the indicator ANLC-XAFAR gives the information about errors in the calculation of depreciation.                                                                               
0 No error occurred during depreciation calculation                                             
  1 Error occurred in depreciation calculation from previous yrs                                  
  2 Error occurred in depreciation calculation of current year     
At this point it may be necessary to execute the report RACORR52 for the fiscal years   
that may be closed now and for which the asset in question seems to have an incorrect entry for ANLC-XAFAR. You have to carefully check the asset beforehand though, to be sure that the values on the asset as such are correct as per your expectation.  Only then should you consider using the correction report RACORR52.        
Please review the attached note in this regard, and follow the instructions given:

This report is not in your system until you manually apply this source code.                                                                               
Also review SAP note 141656 as it might help, too.                                                                               
I hope this information helps you further.
Kind regards,
