• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC074 - Changeover key not allowed for depreciation method & ?

  The SAP error message AC074, which states "Changeover key not allowed for depreciation method &," typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is an attempt to change the depreciation method for an asset that is not permitted due to the current configuration or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Depreciation Methods: The depreciation method you are trying to switch to may not be compatible with the current settings or the asset's status.
  Changeover Key Restrictions: The changeover key defined in the system may not allow for the transition between the current depreciation method and the new one.
  Asset Status: The asset may be in a status that does not permit changes to the depreciation method (e.g., it may be fully depreciated or retired).
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the asset accounting module may restrict changes to certain depreciation methods based on company policy or accounting standards.
