• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/ASSET134 - Action cancelled; record is not deleted ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/ASSET134 Action cancelled; record is not deleted typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when a user attempts to delete an asset record but the action is not completed successfully. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The asset may have dependencies, such as transactions or postings that are linked to it. If there are any open transactions or if the asset is involved in any financial postings, the system will prevent deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the asset. SAP has strict authorization checks, and if the user lacks the required permissions, the action will be canceled.
  
  
  Asset Status: The asset might be in a status that does not allow deletion. For example, if the asset is marked as "in use" or "not fully depreciated," it cannot be deleted.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting module that prevent the deletion of certain types of assets.
  
  
  Data Integrity: The system may have integrity checks that prevent deletion if it would lead to inconsistencies in the asset accounting data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review any transactions or postings related to the asset. Ensure that there are no open transactions or that the asset is not involved in any financial postings. If there are, you may need to reverse or complete those transactions first.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the asset has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Change Asset Status: If the asset is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to allow for deletion. This may involve fully depreciating the asset or marking it as inactive.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the configuration settings, check if there are any specific settings that prevent the deletion of assets. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If deletion is not possible, consider alternative methods such as marking the asset as inactive or transferring it to another cost center.
  
  
  Check for System Messages: Look for any additional system messages or logs that may provide more context on why the deletion was canceled.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS02 (Change Asset), AS03 (Display Asset), and AS01 (Create Asset) to manage asset records.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to asset deletion errors.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on asset accounting for best practices and guidelines on managing asset records.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in asset accounting.
