• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA103 - Asset class & & & changed ?

  The SAP error message AA103 ("Asset class & & & changed") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is an attempt to change an asset class that is already in use for existing assets. This error is a safeguard to prevent inconsistencies in the asset accounting data.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Class Change: The error is triggered when you try to change the asset class of an asset that has already been created and is linked to transactions.
  Configuration Changes: Changes made to the asset class configuration in the system (e.g., changing the settings of an asset class) can also lead to this error if the system detects that existing assets are affected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Asset Class Usage: Check if there are any existing assets assigned to the asset class you are trying to change. You can do this by running reports in the Asset Accounting module to list assets by class.
  Create a New Asset Class: If you need to change the characteristics of an asset class, consider creating a new asset class instead of modifying an existing one. This way, you can assign new assets to the new class without affecting existing ones.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If the change is necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to understand the implications and whether there are any workarounds or adjustments that can be made.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like AS02 (Change Asset) to check the details of the asset and see if any changes can be made without altering the asset class.
