This issue will arise when you try to compute special depreciation in second year for a fixed asset. In case of acquisition and use of a new fixed asset less than 180 days in the first year of acquisition, 50% of depreciation rate will apply for additional depreciation calculation. Balance 50% additional depreciation to be available in succeeding year. Earlier balance 50% cannot be claimed as additional depreciation in succeeding years. As additional depreciation was only allowed in the first year. Even core special depreciation method allows computing depreciation in first year only.
Here are the steps for this issue:

The Income tax Act depreciation checkbox is marked
-
Mark the Use special depreciation allowance checkbox

The Depreciation threshold percentage = 50%
-
-
Go to Fixed assets > Setup > Depreciation > Special depreciation allowance

-
-

-
One of the assets (FA-2) is placed in service such that the asset is put to use for less than 180 days in the financial year
-
-
Go to Fixed assets > Journals> Fixed asset journal

Post a fixed asset journal for the two assets created above in Tax layer
