How to fix UAD1236

UAD1236 is a UAD 3.6 Warning edit; it may not block delivery, but it is still worth resolving before review.

  1. 01Open the Cost Approach › Physical Depreciation (%PV%) area of the URAR and find Physical Depreciation.
  2. 02Check the condition that triggers UAD1236: CostApproachIndicator = "true" and DepreciationPhysicalAmount < 0 in a given instance of IMPROVEMENT_COST_AND_DEPRECIATED_VALUE/IMPROVEMENT_DEPRECIATION.
  3. 03Review and correct the value when appropriate; this is a Warning, but it can still raise reviewer questions.
  4. 04Re-run validation after the change so conditional downstream edits are checked again.

This fix guidance is derived from the published rule message, trigger logic, report location, field definition, and official sample data available for this rule.
