• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AB072 - Revenue is not allowed with transaction type &1 ?

  The SAP error message AB072, which states "Revenue is not allowed with transaction type &1," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to post a transaction that involves revenue recognition, but the transaction type you are using does not permit revenue postings.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type Configuration: The transaction type you are using (indicated by &1 in the error message) is configured in such a way that it does not allow revenue postings. This could be due to the settings in the configuration of the asset accounting module.
  Incorrect Posting: You may be trying to post a transaction that is not meant to generate revenue, such as a depreciation or transfer posting, using a transaction type that is intended for revenue-generating activities.
  Business Process Misalignment: The business process you are trying to execute may not align with the allowed transaction types for revenue recognition.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transaction Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Transaction Types.
  Review the settings for the transaction type you are using. Ensure that it is configured to allow revenue postings if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction Type:
  
  If the transaction type you are using is not meant for revenue postings, identify the correct transaction type that allows revenue recognition and use that instead.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the specific configurations and business processes related to the transaction types in your system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
