• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AAPO711 - Depreciation area &1 adopts identical values from another area ?

  The SAP error message AAPO711 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of depreciation areas in Asset Accounting (FI-AA). Specifically, it means that the depreciation area you are trying to process is set to adopt identical values from another depreciation area, which is not allowed in certain scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The depreciation area is configured to adopt values from another area, but the system has detected that the values are identical, which can lead to inconsistencies or errors in asset accounting.
  Incorrect Settings: The settings in the asset master record or the configuration of the depreciation areas may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the asset master data where the same values are being entered for multiple depreciation areas.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAYZ).
  Review the settings for the depreciation areas involved. Ensure that the configuration allows for the intended behavior and that the areas are not set to adopt identical values if they should not.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Check the asset master record (Transaction code: AS03) for the asset in question.
  Look at the depreciation areas and ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no identical values that could cause this error.
  
  
  
  Adjust Depreciation Areas:
  
  If necessary, modify the settings of the depreciation areas to ensure they do not adopt identical values unless that is the intended configuration.
  You may need to create a new depreciation area or adjust the existing ones to resolve the conflict.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on configuring depreciation areas and understanding the implications of adopting values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the asset accounting processes work as expected.
