• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC095 - Catch-up and support by years are not allowed at the same time ?

  The SAP error message AC095, which states "Catch-up and support by years are not allowed at the same time," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to perform a catch-up depreciation and support by years simultaneously. This situation arises when you attempt to execute a transaction that involves both catch-up depreciation and year-based support for an asset, which is not permitted in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Catch-up Depreciation: This is used when an asset has not been depreciated for a certain period, and you want to catch up on the depreciation that should have been recorded during that time.
  Support by Years: This refers to the method of calculating depreciation based on the number of years the asset has been in service.
  Conflict: The error occurs because the system does not allow both methods to be applied to the same asset at the same time. This is due to the way depreciation is calculated and recorded in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to choose one method of depreciation for the asset in question. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Asset Settings: Check the asset master data to see if it is set up for catch-up depreciation or support by years. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record in SAP.
  
  
  Decide on Depreciation Method: Determine whether you want to proceed with catch-up depreciation or support by years. You cannot use both methods simultaneously.
  
  
  Adjust Depreciation Method:
  
  If you want to perform catch-up depreciation, ensure that the asset is not set for year-based support.
  Conversely, if you want to use year-based support, ensure that catch-up depreciation is not being applied.
  
  
  
  Execute the Correct Transaction: After making the necessary adjustments, execute the appropriate transaction for the chosen method of depreciation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the depreciation method, consult SAP documentation or your organization's financial policies.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like AS02 (Change Asset) to modify asset settings.
  Depreciation Areas: Review the depreciation areas assigned to the asset to ensure they align with your chosen method.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Testing: After making changes, it is advisable to test the transaction in a development or test environment before applying it in production.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the AC095 error and proceed with the appropriate depreciation method for your asset.
