Use another transaction type, prior-yr acquis. exist on asset &1-&2-&3

What causes this issue?

You want to post a complete retirement. The transaction type you
entered is only for acquisitions in the current fiscal year. However,
prior-year acquisitions exist on the asset for at least one of the
depreciation areas to be posted.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to retire the entire asset, choose a retirement transaction
type that can be used for prior-year acquisitions. Otherwise you have
to determine the total from transactions that change acquisition value
and enter this amount as the retirement amount. Or you can change this
error message to a warning in Customizing.
