• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA659 - You cannot manage dep.reducing acq.value in area & ?

  The SAP error message AA659, "You cannot manage dep. reducing acq. value in area &," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there is an attempt to manage an asset that has a depreciation area configured in a way that does not allow for the management of depreciation reducing acquisition values.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Configuration Issue: The depreciation area in question is not set up to handle the depreciation reducing acquisition value. This can happen if the depreciation area is configured incorrectly in the asset accounting settings.
  
  
  Asset Master Data: The asset master data may have been set up in a way that conflicts with the depreciation area settings. For example, if the asset is not allowed to have a reducing acquisition value in the specified depreciation area.

  If the error occurs during a specific transaction (e.g., acquisition, transfer, etc.), verify that the transaction type being used is appropriate for the depreciation area settings.
