How To Fix ACRSL048 - &: Total percentage rate deprec. not allowed with multiple-shift

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 048

• Message text: &: Total percentage rate deprec. not allowed with multiple-shift

What causes this issue?

You chose a base method that uses the 'Total percentage rate' (G)
depreciation method. When this method is used, you enter the overall
percentage rate with which depreciation should be calculated up to a
given point in time. However, this is not an annual percentage rate.
Therefore, it is not possible to take multiple shift use into account,
since this would reduce or increase an annual percentage rate. As an
alternative, you should choose the 'Explicit percentage rate' (P)
depreciation method.

System Response

The depreciation key is saved as inactive.

How to fix this error?

Choose a different base method, or deselect the 'multiple shift use'
indicator.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACRSL048 - &: Total percentage rate deprec. not allowed with multiple-shift ?

  The SAP error message ACRSL048 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation calculation for an asset that is set up with multiple shifts. Specifically, the error states that a total percentage rate of depreciation is not allowed when multiple shifts are configured for the asset.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Multiple Shift Configuration: The asset is configured to use multiple shifts, which means that the asset is expected to be used in a way that accounts for different operational shifts (e.g., day and night shifts).
  Depreciation Method: The depreciation method applied to the asset may be set to a total percentage rate, which is incompatible with the multiple shift configuration. In SAP, certain depreciation methods are not allowed when multiple shifts are involved because they require a more detailed calculation based on actual usage.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ACRSL048 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Configuration:
  
  Go to the asset master record and check the configuration settings.
  Ensure that the asset is correctly set up for multiple shifts if that is the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Depreciation Method:
  
  Check the depreciation method assigned to the asset. If it is set to a total percentage rate, consider changing it to a method that is compatible with multiple shifts.
  Common depreciation methods that can be used with multiple shifts include:
  
  Straight-Line Depreciation: This method spreads the cost evenly over the useful life of the asset.
  Declining Balance Method: This method applies a fixed percentage to the remaining book value of the asset.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Depreciation Rates:
  
  If you need to maintain the total percentage rate, consider adjusting the asset's configuration to not use multiple shifts, if that is feasible for your business operations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on configuring assets with multiple shifts and the appropriate depreciation methods.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the asset depreciation calculation to ensure that the error is resolved and that the depreciation is calculated correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) to manage asset configurations.
  Depreciation Types: Understand the different types of depreciation methods available in SAP and their implications on financial reporting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACRSL048 error and ensure that your asset depreciation calculations are accurate and compliant with your operational requirements.
