• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA190 - Dep.start date taken over ?

  The SAP error message AA190 "Dep. start date taken over" typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is an issue with the depreciation start date of an asset. This message indicates that the system has automatically taken over the depreciation start date from the asset master data, which may not align with the expected or desired settings.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Master Data Configuration: The depreciation start date may not have been set correctly in the asset master data. This can happen if the asset was created with an incorrect acquisition date or if the asset was transferred from another company code or area.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type used for the asset acquisition or transfer may not allow for manual entry of the depreciation start date, leading the system to default to the date in the asset master.
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing changes to the depreciation start date.
  Depreciation Areas: Different depreciation areas may have different rules regarding the start date, and the system may be enforcing these rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data to ensure that the acquisition date and depreciation start date are set correctly. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record (transaction code AS03).
  Adjust Transaction Type Settings: If the transaction type does not allow for manual entry of the depreciation start date, consider adjusting the configuration of the transaction type in the Asset Accounting settings (transaction code OAOA).
  Open Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the relevant fiscal year. If the period is closed, you may need to open it temporarily to make the necessary adjustments.
  Review Depreciation Areas: Check the settings for the relevant depreciation areas to ensure they are configured correctly and that the rules for the depreciation start date are appropriate.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration.
