  The SAP error message /ATL/ASSET086 Enter PID(AFP) for chart of depreciation in user profile typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when a user tries to perform an action related to asset management without having the necessary configuration set up in their user profile.
  Cause:

  Assign Plant ID (if applicable):
  
  If your organization uses Plant IDs in conjunction with Asset Accounting, ensure that the relevant Plant ID is also assigned in the user profile.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the user profile.
