SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: AIST - Messages for Asset Master Record

  • Message number: 004

  • Message text: Recalculation of values currently not possible in company code &1

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Changes to the asset master record can make it necessary to recalculate
    depreciation values.
    Recalculation of depreciation values is not possible at the moment in
    company code &v1& using this transaction, since the closed fiscal years
    of different depreciation areas differ by more than one year.

    System Response

    When you call the transaction for master data processing, this message
    appears as an informational message that you can skip over.
    However, if you try to save changes to an asset that would necessitate a
    depreciation recalculation, the system terminates processing. In that
    case, your changes are lost.
    The system also rejects changes to asset master records made using the
    mass change functions.

    How to fix this error?

    Cancel the transaction, or only change values that are not relevant for
    the calculation of depreciation.
    Processing assets using mass change is not possible at all at the
    moment.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    Check if the current situation is what you really want.
    Normally, the closed fiscal years for different depreciation areas are
    never allowed to differ by more than one year, unless you are currently
    running a depreciation recalculation in this company code based on SAP
    Note 646691.
    If you do not want the current situation, then it is probably due to an
    inconsistency. In that case, contact SAP Support for help in correcting
    the closed fiscal years in the depreciation areas.
