The SAP error message AA606 ("SYST: Depreciation key & not created") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is an issue with the depreciation key assigned to an asset. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid depreciation key for the asset in question, which is necessary for calculating depreciation.
Causes:
- Missing Depreciation Key: The depreciation key specified for the asset does not exist in the system.

- Data Entry Error: There may be a typographical error in the depreciation key entered during asset creation or modification.

Solutions:
Check Depreciation Key:

- Ensure that the depreciation key specified in the error message exists and is correctly configured.
Assign Depreciation Key:

Review Asset Class:

- Use transaction code OAOA to review and modify asset class settings.
Correct Data Entry:

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
