  The SAP error message ACC_AA137 indicates that there is a mismatch in the accounting principles between the investment support area and the base area in Asset Accounting (FI-AA). This error typically arises when you are trying to post an asset transaction that involves different areas of accounting that are not compatible due to differing accounting principles.
  Cause:
  
  Different Accounting Principles: The investment support area and the base area are configured with different accounting principles. For example, one area may be set up for IFRS while another is set up for local GAAP.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the asset accounting settings, particularly in the configuration of the asset classes or the areas themselves.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry when creating or modifying asset master records can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
