• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY107 - You can use asset class & for capital-investment measures only ?

  The SAP error message AY107 indicates that the asset class you are trying to use is restricted to capital investment measures only. This typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction that is not allowed for the specified asset class.
