How To Fix AU176 - Check on BAdI implementation for depr. calcul. required; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AU - FI-AA utility program error messages

• Message number: 176

• Message text: Check on BAdI implementation for depr. calcul. required; see long text

What causes this issue?

You have at least one active implementation for the Business Add-In <AB>
FAA_DC_CUSTOMER</> or <AB>FAA_EE_CUSTOMER</>.
SAP had to make technical changes. To ensure you will still get correct
values from the depreciation calculation, it may be necessary to adjust
the implementation of one or both BAdIs.
Note:
The depreciation calculation uses the result of the respective BAdI
implementation(s); it is <ZH>not</> possible to say how correct the
implementation is at this point.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

You might have one of the following situations:
(a) New BAdI implementation
You have created a new BAdI implementation for one of the BAdIs
mentioned above. It is a single implementation for one of the BAdIs
mentioned above.
In this case, <ZH>no</> release upgrade is responsible for the
appearance of this message, therefore <ZH>no</> steps on your part are
necessary. You can hide this message (see the section '&SYS_ADMIN&?
below for this).
(b) Existing BAdI implementation
You get this message after a release upgrade.
Proceed as follows:
Check whether your implementation(s) of the above-mentioned BAdIs are
correct. Please read the detailed information on the changed BAdIs
below.
Recalculate the depreciation again. A recalculation without differences
indicates that the implementation is correct (or that the im
plementations are correct).
After a successful check, you can hide this message (see the section '
&SYS_ADMIN&' for this).
<ZH>Detailed Information on the Changed BAdIs</>
Changes for BAdI <AB>FAA_DC_CUSTOMER</>:
Tables <AB>MTS_HLPSEG</>, <AB>MT_PARAMETER</>, <AB>MT_TRANSACTION</> and
<AB>MT_TRANSACTION_POST</> gets the <LS>currency type</> (field <AB>
CURR_TYPE</>) as a further key field.
Because of this, you should only access these tables with <LS>
depreciation area</> and <LS>currency type</> (<AB>CURR_TYPE</>). You
can find the currency type using table <AB>T093A</> or using <AB>
LEADOBJ</>.
The table <AB>MTS_AREA</> has changed; the currency type has been
included amongst other things.
In structure <AB>MS_ASSET_KEY</> the fields <AB>ASSET_MAIN_NUMBER</> and
<AB>ASSET_SUB_NUMBER</> have been replaced by structure <AB>S_ASSET_KEY
</>.
Table <AB>MT_VIRTAREA</> has been replaced by table <AB>MT_VIRTAREA_S4
</>.
For more information about the BAdI, see the documentation under
<DS:SIMG.FAA_DC_CUSTOMER>FAA_DC_CUSTOMER</>.
Changes for BAdI <AB>FAA_EE_CUSTOMER</>:
In the structure of the import parameter of <AB>ISX_IDATA</>, table <AB>
T_VIRAREA</> has become obsolete and has been replaced by the new table
<AB>T_VIRTAREA_S4</>.
In addition to this, table <AB>T_PARAMETER</> has been enhanced with
<AB>CURR_TYPE</>.
Otherwise the structures have stayed the same.
For more information about the BAdI, see the documentation under
<DS:SIMG.FAA_EE_CUSTOMER>FAA_EE_CUSTOMER</>.
Example:
The following example should illustrate the changes:
There is a posting for an asset for depreciation area 01 (with currency
type 10) and accordingly for the parallel currency area 02 (with
currency type 30).
Until now, table <AB>MT_TRANSACTION</> contained two entries: an entry
for depreciation area 01 and an entry for depreciation area 02.
From now on, table <AB>MT_TRANSACTION</> still contains two entries but
with depreciation area 01 and currency type 10, plus an entry with
depreciation area 01 and currency type 30.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AU176 - Check on BAdI implementation for depr. calcul. required; see long text ?

  The SAP error message AU176 indicates that there is a requirement to check the Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation for depreciation calculation. This error typically arises in the context of asset accounting when the system expects a specific BAdI implementation to be active or correctly configured for the depreciation calculation process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BAdI Implementation: The required BAdI implementation for the depreciation calculation is not active or has not been implemented.
  Incorrect Configuration: The BAdI implementation may be incorrectly configured or not aligned with the current asset accounting settings.
  Custom Logic: If there is custom logic that is supposed to be executed during the depreciation calculation, it may not be properly defined or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction code SE18 (BAdI Definition) or SE19 (BAdI Implementation).
  Check if the BAdI related to depreciation calculation (e.g., FI_AA_DEPR_CALC) is implemented.
  If it is not implemented, you may need to create a new implementation or activate an existing one.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration settings for asset accounting are correctly set up. This includes checking the settings in transaction OAYZ (for asset accounting) and ensuring that the relevant BAdI is assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the long text of the error message for specific details on what is required. This can often provide insights into what is missing or needs to be checked.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the relevant BAdI implementation to see if it is being called during the depreciation calculation process.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. Sometimes, there are known issues or patches that can resolve specific problems related to BAdI implementations.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the documentation for the specific BAdI you are working with. This can provide insights into its purpose and how it should be implemented.
  Asset Accounting Configuration: Understanding the overall configuration of asset accounting in your SAP system can help in diagnosing issues related to depreciation calculations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OAYZ, SE18, and SE19 for managing BAdIs and asset accounting settings.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the AU176 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
