We prove that for a first-order homogeneous linear partial differential operator $\mathcal{A}$ and a map $f$ taking values in the essential range of the operator, there exists a function $u$ of special bounded variation satisfying $\mathcal{A}u(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere. This extends a result of G. Alberti for gradients on $\mathbb{R}^nN$. In particular, for $m < N$, it is shown that every integrable $m$-form field on $\mathbb{R}^nN$ is the absolutely continuous part of the boundary of some locally normal current with finite mass.
