• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC146 - Areas that adopt identical values are included ?

  The SAP error message AC146, which states "Areas that adopt identical values are included," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to create or modify an asset master record or during the execution of certain transactions related to asset management.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when there are multiple areas (e.g., depreciation areas) in the asset master record that are set to adopt the same values or settings. This can happen if:
  
  You have configured multiple depreciation areas to use the same settings or values.
  There is a misconfiguration in the asset master data where the same values are being referenced across different areas.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS02 or AS03) and review the depreciation areas.
  Ensure that each depreciation area has unique settings and does not adopt identical values from another area.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the depreciation areas in the Asset Accounting settings (transaction code OAYZ).
  Make sure that the areas are correctly defined and that they do not overlap in terms of the values they are adopting.
  
  
  
  Adjust Depreciation Areas:
  
  If you find that two or more areas are set to adopt the same values, you may need to adjust the settings so that they are distinct.
  You can either change the configuration of the areas or modify the asset master data to ensure that they do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on how depreciation areas work and how to configure them properly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
