• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC092 - Dep. after end of planned life and rem.life dep. are contradictory. ?

  The SAP error message AC092 indicates a contradiction between the planned life and the remaining life of an asset in the Asset Accounting module. This typically occurs when the system detects that the planned depreciation period has ended, but there is still remaining life for the asset that has not been accounted for, leading to inconsistencies in the asset's depreciation calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The planned life of the asset may have been set incorrectly, or the remaining life may not have been updated properly.
  Manual Adjustments: Manual changes to the asset master data or depreciation settings can lead to discrepancies.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the asset accounting settings can also lead to this error.
  Depreciation Methods: The depreciation method applied to the asset may not align with the planned and remaining life settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and review the planned life and remaining life fields.
  Ensure that the planned life is set correctly and matches the expected depreciation period.
  
  
  
  Review Depreciation Areas:
  
  Check the depreciation areas assigned to the asset to ensure they are configured correctly.
  Make sure that the settings for each depreciation area are consistent with the asset's planned life.
  
  
  
  Adjust Remaining Life:
  
  If the planned life has ended, you may need to adjust the remaining life of the asset to reflect the actual situation.
  This can be done through the asset master record or by using the transaction code ABZON (for unplanned depreciation) if necessary.
  
  
  
  Run Depreciation Simulation:
  
  Use the transaction code AFAB to run a depreciation simulation to see if the error persists after making adjustments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
