Diagnosis
You cannot delete asset &V1&, sub-number &V2&, and you cannot mark itfor deletion. The asset is still active, for one of these reasons:

• The asset still has values, because it has not been completely retired.


• The asset does not have values, but the capitalization date was set
manually in the asset master record.
The system only allows deletion of inactive assets (assets with nopostings) or assets that are deactivated.

Procedure


• Assets that have values must be completely retired before they can be
deleted.
If there is no posting to the asset, you must manually remove thecapitalization date using the Change asset function. You can usethe Change old asset function to set a deactivation date for anasset transferred from a previous system that does not have postings.
