You can use the same transaction type for both an increment and a decrement since
the depreciation must be written back in both cases and the only difference is the
sign entered against the revaluation posting amount (positive or negative).

Limit the transaction type to the depreciation area where revaluations are handled. To
do this, proceed as follows:
a. SPRO ® Asset Accounting ® Transactions ® Acquisitions ® Define
Transaction Types for Acquisitions.
Double Click: Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas.
c. Drill down to the transaction type (Z60) and the depreciation area
selection for that transaction type.
d. Choose New Entries and enter the depreciation area that you want to
revalue (usually the book depreciation area (01). If group areas are defined,
such as area 30, this posting should also update area 30). It is not necessary
to activate the Display for Selection or Always Post indicators.

If you want to revalue multiple areas that use a different valuation base, you
have to create a transaction type for each area and post the specific value for
revaluation separately for each area.
