• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA126 - Useful life has more periods than maximum useful life (Correct) ?

  The SAP error message AA126 indicates that the useful life defined for an asset has more periods than the maximum useful life allowed in the system. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to create or modify an asset master record.
  
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Maximum Useful Life: The useful life of the asset you are trying to set exceeds the maximum useful life defined in the system settings. This can happen if the useful life is set to a value that is not permissible according to the configuration in the asset accounting module.
