• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC083 - You cannot have unit-of-prod.dep. with depreciation to the day ?

  The SAP error message AC083, "You cannot have unit-of-prod.dep. with depreciation to the day," typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is a mismatch between the depreciation method and the settings for the asset. This error is specifically related to the use of unit-of-production depreciation in conjunction with daily depreciation calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Depreciation Method: The asset is set up to use unit-of-production depreciation, which is based on the actual usage of the asset rather than a time-based calculation. However, the system is also configured to calculate depreciation on a daily basis.
  Configuration Settings: The asset master record may have settings that are incompatible with the chosen depreciation method. For example, if the asset is set to depreciate daily, it cannot simultaneously use a unit-of-production method, which requires a different approach to calculating depreciation.
  Asset Class Settings: The asset class may have been configured to allow only certain types of depreciation methods, and the current settings do not support the combination being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Asset Master Data: Check the asset master record for the asset in question. Ensure that the depreciation method is appropriate for the asset's usage and that it aligns with the company's accounting policies.
  Change Depreciation Method: If the asset should not use unit-of-production depreciation, consider changing the depreciation method to a time-based method (e.g., straight-line or declining balance) that is compatible with daily depreciation.
  Adjust Configuration: If unit-of-production depreciation is required, ensure that the asset is not set to calculate depreciation on a daily basis. This may involve adjusting the configuration settings in the asset class or the depreciation area.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the implications of changing depreciation methods and to ensure compliance with accounting standards.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Asset Accounting Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings for asset accounting in SAP, particularly those related to depreciation methods and asset classes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring asset depreciation.
  Testing Changes: After making any changes, test the asset transactions to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the depreciation calculations are correct.
  
  By addressing the configuration and settings related to the asset, you should be able to resolve the AC083 error and proceed with the necessary transactions.
