• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA112 - Chart of dep.& already exists in class & (Check entry) ?

  The SAP error message AA112 indicates that there is an attempt to create a chart of depreciation (CoD) that already exists in the system for a specific asset class. This error typically arises during the configuration of asset accounting when you try to define a new chart of depreciation for an asset class that has already been assigned a chart of depreciation.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The chart of depreciation you are trying to create is already defined for the specified asset class.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misunderstanding in the configuration process, leading to an attempt to create a duplicate entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Charts of Depreciation:
  
  Navigate to the configuration path in SAP: SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Implementation Guide > Depreciation > Define Chart of Depreciation.
  Review the existing charts of depreciation for the asset class in question to confirm if the chart you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Chart:
  
  If the chart of depreciation already exists and you need to make changes, consider modifying the existing chart instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Entry:
  
  If you find that there is indeed a duplicate entry that is not needed, you can delete it. However, be cautious with this step as it may affect existing configurations and data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance on how to properly configure charts of depreciation.
  
  
  
  Check Customizations:
  
  If your organization has custom configurations, ensure that they are not causing conflicts with standard SAP settings.
