• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AJ015 - Different rate fact groups were found for rate &1 ?

  The SAP error message AJ015, which states "Different rate fact groups were found for rate &1," typically occurs in the context of the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. This error indicates that there are inconsistencies in the rate fact groups associated with a specific rate, which can lead to issues in asset valuation or depreciation calculations.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Multiple Rate Fact Groups: The system has detected that there are different rate fact groups assigned to the same rate. This can happen if the configuration for asset valuation is not consistent.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration settings for asset accounting, particularly in the areas related to depreciation areas and valuation methods.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been changes in the configuration, it may lead to discrepancies in the rate fact groups.

  To resolve the AJ015 error, you can follow these steps:

  Check the depreciation areas assigned to the asset and ensure that they are configured correctly.
