Error message extract from SAP system. Copyright SAP SE.
The SAP error message AA645 indicates that an acquisition (or acquisition adjustment) is only possible in the capitalization year when using the sum-of-the-years-digits (SYD) depreciation method. This error typically arises when you attempt to post an acquisition or adjustment for an asset that is not in its capitalization year, which is not allowed under this depreciation method.
Cause:
- Depreciation Method: The asset is set to use the sum-of-the-years-digits method, which requires that any acquisition or adjustment be made only in the year the asset is capitalized.
- Posting Date: The posting date of the acquisition or adjustment is outside the capitalization year of the asset.
- Asset Status: The asset may not be in an active status or may have been retired or disposed of.
Solution:
- Check the Posting Date: Ensure that the posting date for the acquisition or adjustment falls within the capitalization year of the asset. If it does not, you will need to adjust the posting date accordingly.
- Review Asset Master Data: Verify the asset master data to confirm the capitalization year and ensure that the asset is still active.
- Use Correct Depreciation Method: If you need to post acquisitions or adjustments outside the capitalization year, consider using a different depreciation method that allows for such postings.
- Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling acquisitions and adjustments for assets using SYD depreciation.

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.
