• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY126 - &1: Statistical indicator was set - asset u. cons. will be deleted ?

  The SAP error message AY126 indicates that a statistical indicator has been set for an asset, and as a result, the asset's useful life (or consumption) will be deleted. This message typically arises during asset accounting transactions, such as when trying to retire or transfer an asset.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An asset has a statistical indicator set, which means it is being tracked for statistical purposes but is not intended for financial transactions.
  The system is attempting to perform an operation that would lead to the deletion of the asset's useful life or consumption data, which is not allowed when a statistical indicator is active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Asset Master Data:
  
  Go to the Asset Master Data (transaction code AS03) and check the asset in question.
  Look for the statistical indicator in the asset master record. This is usually found in the "General Data" or "Depreciation" tab.
  
  
  
  Remove the Statistical Indicator:
  
  If the asset should not have a statistical indicator, you can remove it. This can be done by editing the asset master record (transaction code AS02) and unchecking the statistical indicator.
  Ensure that this change aligns with your organization's accounting policies.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Transactions:
  
  If the asset is involved in any ongoing transactions, ensure that all necessary transactions are completed before making changes to the asset master data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of removing the statistical indicator, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies and regulations.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Transaction:
