• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACC_AA123 - Check not possible since Cust. switch PARALLEL_VAL is not active ?

  The SAP error message ACC_AA123 indicates that a check cannot be performed because the customer switch PARALLEL_VAL is not active. This switch is related to the parallel valuation of assets in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation that requires the parallel valuation feature, but the system is configured not to use it. The PARALLEL_VAL switch controls whether the system allows for multiple valuations of assets (for example, for different accounting principles or regulatory requirements).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Switch Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SCPR20 (Switch Framework) or SCPR3 (Switch Management) in your SAP system.
  Look for the switch PARALLEL_VAL and check its status. If it is not active, you will need to activate it.
  
  
  
  Activate the Switch:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can activate the switch directly in the Switch Management transaction.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, you will need to contact your SAP Basis or system administrator to activate the switch for you.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  After activating the switch, ensure that your Asset Accounting configuration supports parallel valuation. This includes checking the settings for valuation areas and ensuring that the necessary accounting principles are defined.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, perform the operation again that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
