• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC209 - When you save, depreciation key & will be deleted ?

  The SAP error message AC209 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation key assigned to an asset. Specifically, it suggests that the depreciation key is not valid for the asset in question, and as a result, it will be deleted when you attempt to save the asset master record.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Depreciation Key: The depreciation key assigned to the asset may not be valid for the asset class or may not be configured correctly in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The depreciation key might not be set up properly in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) configuration, or it may not be assigned to the relevant asset class.
  Changes in Asset Class: If the asset class has been changed after the asset was created, it may lead to inconsistencies with the depreciation key.
  Missing Customization: The depreciation key may not have been customized for the specific requirements of the asset class.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Depreciation Key: Verify that the depreciation key assigned to the asset is valid. You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in SAP:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Asset Accounting ? Depreciation ? Define Depreciation Keys.
  Ensure that the depreciation key is correctly defined and meets the requirements for the asset class.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Class Configuration: Check the configuration of the asset class to ensure that it is compatible with the depreciation key. You can do this by:
  
  Going to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Asset Accounting ? Master Data ? Define Asset Classes.
  Ensure that the depreciation key is assigned to the correct asset class.
  
  
  
  Reassign Depreciation Key: If the depreciation key is invalid, you may need to assign a different, valid depreciation key to the asset. This can be done in the asset master record.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct depreciation key or asset class, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making any changes, try saving the asset master record again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to depreciation keys and asset classes.
