SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ACRSL - Messages for Depreciation Keys and Calculation Methods

• Message number: 004

• Message text: &: Multipl. factor only allowed w/ dep calc.method D and P in base method

What causes this issue?

Entering a multiplication factor is only allowed when using either the
"percentage from useful life" (D) or "stated percentage" (P)
depreciation calculation method. When you use the combination of base
method &v2& and declining-balance method &v3&, this condition is not
met. Base method &v2& contains depreciation method &v4&. However, a
percentage greater than zero is entered in declining-balance method
&v3&.

System Response

The data is not saved.

How to fix this error?

Change either the declining-balance method or the base method.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACRSL004 - &: Multipl. factor only allowed w/ dep calc.method D and P in base method ?

  The SAP error message ACRSL004 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the calculation method in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or related modules. Specifically, this error arises when a multiple factor is used in a base method that does not support it according to the defined depreciation calculation methods.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A multiple factor is defined in a base method that is not compatible with the depreciation calculation methods D (Declining Balance) or P (Straight-Line).
  The configuration of the asset's depreciation method does not align with the requirements for using a multiple factor.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Base Method Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAYZ).
  Review the base method that is being used for the asset in question.
  Ensure that the base method is set to a depreciation calculation method that allows for a multiple factor (D or P).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Depreciation Method:
  
  If the current base method does not support a multiple factor, consider changing the depreciation method to one that does (D or P).
  You can do this by navigating to the asset master record (Transaction code: AS02) and modifying the depreciation area settings.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Check the asset master data for any inconsistencies or incorrect settings that might be causing the issue.
  Ensure that the asset is assigned to the correct depreciation area and that the settings are appropriate for the intended calculation method.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on depreciation methods and their configurations.
  This can provide insights into the specific requirements for using multiple factors in different calculation methods.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the asset transactions to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Depreciation Calculation Methods:
  
  D (Declining Balance): A method where the asset depreciates at a fixed percentage of its remaining book value.
  P (Straight-Line): A method where the asset depreciates evenly over its useful life.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  OAYZ: Configuration for Asset Accounting.
