• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC080 - Multiplication factor only allowed for method 'D' and 'P'. ?

  The SAP error message AC080 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the asset accounting method in the system. Specifically, this error arises when a multiplication factor is incorrectly assigned to an asset transaction method that does not support it. The multiplication factor is only allowed for methods 'D' (Depreciation) and 'P' (Revaluation).
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Method Assignment: The asset transaction method being used does not support a multiplication factor. This typically happens when the method is set to something other than 'D' or 'P'.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Transaction Method:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for asset accounting in SAP.
  Verify the asset transaction method being used for the asset in question.
  Ensure that the method is either 'D' (for depreciation) or 'P' (for revaluation) if you intend to use a multiplication factor.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the method is incorrectly set, change it to 'D' or 'P' as appropriate.
  If the multiplication factor is not needed, remove it from the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Check the asset master data for the specific asset that is causing the error.
  Ensure that all settings align with the intended accounting treatment.
