How To Fix AY014 - Depreciation simulation data are available.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AY - Deprec. simulation - maint. module (AIPS) /gen. master data

• Message number: 014

• Message text: Depreciation simulation data are available.

What causes this issue?

Depreciation simulation data exists. You are carrying out a change
of the company code.

System Response

The system allows this change.
If the new company code has the same active chart of depreciation,
the new company code is taken over. Otherwise, the depreciation
simulation data is deleted.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you really want to make this change. If necessary,
maintain the depreciation simulation data for the new company code.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY014 - Depreciation simulation data are available. ?

  The SAP error message AY014, which states "Depreciation simulation data are available," typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is an attempt to post or process transactions related to fixed assets. This message indicates that there are existing simulation data for depreciation that have not been processed or cleared.
  Cause:
  
  Unprocessed Simulation Data: The error usually arises when there are simulation records for depreciation that have not been finalized or posted. This can happen if a user has run a depreciation simulation but has not yet posted the results to the general ledger.
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction being executed may not be appropriate for the current state of the asset, especially if it involves posting or changing values without addressing the simulation data first.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting module that are causing the system to flag the simulation data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Simulation Data: Check the simulation data for the affected asset. You can do this by navigating to the asset in question and reviewing the depreciation simulation reports. This will help you understand what data is pending.
  Post Simulation Data: If the simulation data is correct and you want to proceed, you need to post the simulation results. This can typically be done through the transaction code AFAB (Run Depreciation) or AFAR (Post Simulation).
  Clear Simulation Data: If the simulation data is no longer needed, you can clear it. This may involve reversing the simulation or deleting the simulation records, depending on your organization's policies and the specific situation.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  AFAB: Run Depreciation
  AFAR: Post Simulation
  AW01N: Asset Master Record
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed steps on handling depreciation simulations and postings.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to post or clear simulation data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or bugs related to this error message.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
