• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60453 - Enter building age classes without time gaps or overlaps ?

  The SAP error message 60453, "Enter building age classes without time gaps or overlaps," typically occurs in the context of managing building data in SAP, particularly when dealing with asset management or real estate management modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of building age classes, which are used to categorize buildings based on their age for various purposes, such as depreciation calculations or reporting.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the building age classes defined in the system have either:
  
  Time Gaps: There are periods where no age class is defined, meaning there is a range of building ages that do not fall into any defined category.
  Overlaps: Two or more age classes cover the same range of building ages, leading to ambiguity in classification.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to review and adjust the building age classes in the system. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where building age classes are defined. This is usually found under the Real Estate Management or Asset Accounting modules.
  
  
  
  Review Existing Age Classes:
  
  Check the defined building age classes for any gaps or overlaps. Ensure that each age class has a clear, non-overlapping range of ages.
  
  
  
  Adjust Age Classes:
  
  If you find any gaps, create new age classes to fill those gaps.
  If there are overlaps, modify the ranges of the existing age classes to ensure that each age class covers a unique range of building ages.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Perform a test transaction that previously triggered the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to Real Estate Management or Asset Accounting for detailed guidance on configuring building age classes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., OAYD for asset classes) that may help you navigate to the configuration settings more efficiently.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the configuration settings in SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after making the adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
