Book Value Must Not be negative or less than salvage value

My client run into this Book Value Must Not BE negative or less than Salvage Value on FA Item XXX error when trying to post a depreciation entry through FA Journal.
This particular FA is using a 30% Straight Line % method. The Original Acquisition Cost posted to the ledger was $10,000.
They then use the Calculate Depreciation Batch Job to suggest depreciation entries into the FA Journal, and in this particular one, the depreciation amount suggested was $10,000.
So during posting of the journal, they run into Book Value Must Not Be Negative Or Less than Salvage Value error.
It seems like the program suggested depreciating the asset fully, and it goes into negative because salvage value=0. What do we do in this case? I'm a developer and dont have a lot of knowledge in the FA functional area, would really appreciate any advice you could provide!!

Thanks and have a great day!
