Asset transfer reversal has a message 'Book Value must not be negative or less than Salvage Value'

 Hi All,
 
 
In our company we needed to move an asset from one center to another, I've posted successfully the entry through Fixed Asset G/L Journal.
 
 
 
Same month the asset came back to original center, however I'm not able to reverse the entry as I'm receiving the message 'Book Value must not be negative or less than Salvage Value'. 
 
 
Net impact on book value was null on initial entry and is null in current.
Why can't I reverse the asset back to its original location?

    Hello YUN,
     
    Thanks for your answer. 
     
    This can be as a last option to dispose an asset and create a new one. Although it is not desired as history of depreciation and acquisitions would be lost. 
    Thanks for suggesting but I'm trying to reverse 'Asset transfer' in the same month. Can do it in 2025 though but curious why it is not possible in the same month of initial entry which is 31/12/2024.

    Hi Valentin,
     
    The salvage value of the asset is already 0 and I'm not trying to adjust the book value to 0.
     
    I've mentioned that I'm able to post any transactions related to this asset's only on the next day, as the original transaction was posted on 31/12/24 which is 01/01/2025 but it doesn't work for me as well as I'm trying to close the year end and all have to be posted in 2024. 
     
     
    Currently there's no answer why system cannot do this entry..

    You need to set the salvage value of the asset to 0 before adjusting the book value to 0.

    For some reason I cannot also acquire any amount to that single fixed asset. Having same message all the time.

    Hello Yi,
     
    Thanks for your answer.
     
    I have changed them as you said.
     
    Still I receive the same message.

    Hello,
     
    I see that the row that was highlighted is the Positive Acquisition line.
    You should reverse the Negative Acquisition line first.
     
    Entry 1: Positive Acq. 100 -> you can't reverse this positive entry because the FA net value is 0.
    Entry 2: Negative Acq. -100
    Net: 0
