• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL105 - Depreciation area must be for & method only ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL105 indicates that there is a mismatch between the depreciation area and the depreciation method being used in the asset accounting module. This error typically arises when you attempt to post or process an asset transaction that does not comply with the defined settings for depreciation areas and methods.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Configuration: The depreciation area you are trying to use is not configured to work with the selected depreciation method. Each depreciation area is linked to a specific method, and if the method does not match the area, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Asset Master Data: The asset master record may have been set up incorrectly, leading to a conflict between the depreciation area and the method.
  Changes in Configuration: If there have been recent changes to the configuration of depreciation areas or methods, existing assets may not align with the new settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and verify the depreciation areas and methods assigned to the asset.
  Ensure that the depreciation area is correctly configured to use the intended depreciation method.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OAYZ to check the configuration of depreciation areas and methods.
  Ensure that the depreciation area is set up correctly in the configuration and is linked to the appropriate depreciation method.
  
  
  
  Adjust Asset Master Data:
  
  If the asset master data is incorrect, you may need to adjust it. This can involve changing the depreciation area or method to align with the correct settings.
  If necessary, create a new asset with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on how to resolve configuration issues related to depreciation areas and methods.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
