  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Number Assignment Configuration: The company code is configured to use internal number assignment for asset numbers, but an attempt is being made to use external number assignment (manual entry) instead.
  
  
  Asset Master Data Creation: When creating asset master data, if the system is set to use internal number assignment, but the user tries to enter an asset number manually, this error will be triggered.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the Asset Accounting configuration (transaction code OAOA) for the number range may not be aligned with the method of number assignment being used.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ACAC010 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Assignment Configuration:

  If the company code is set to internal number assignment, do not enter a manual asset number when creating the asset. Instead, allow the system to generate the asset number automatically.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration if Necessary:
  
  If you need to use external number assignment, you will need to change the configuration for the company code to allow for external number assignment. This can be done in the same configuration settings (OAOA) by adjusting the number range settings.
