• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA671 - You cannot combine deprec. to the day w/ year-dependent fisc.yr variant ?

  The SAP error message AA671 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation calculation settings in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. Specifically, it arises when there is an attempt to combine "depreciation to the day" with a year-dependent fiscal year variant, which is not allowed in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant Settings: The fiscal year variant is set to year-dependent, which means that the depreciation calculation is based on the fiscal year settings that can vary from year to year.
  Depreciation Method: The asset is configured to use a depreciation method that calculates depreciation "to the day," which is incompatible with the year-dependent fiscal year variant.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following solutions:
  
  
  Change the Depreciation Method:
  
  If possible, change the depreciation method for the asset to one that does not calculate depreciation "to the day." This can be done in the asset master record
