• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY128 - &1: Statistical ind. was set - AuC exists, and has to be deleted ?

  The SAP error message AY128 indicates that there is a statistical indicator set for an asset under construction (AuC), and the system is preventing certain actions because the AuC must be deleted first. This error typically arises in the context of asset accounting when trying to perform operations on an asset that is still in the construction phase.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Indicator Set: The asset in question has a statistical indicator set, which means it is being tracked for reporting purposes but is not yet fully capitalized.
  Existing AuC: The system detects that there is an asset under construction associated with the asset you are trying to modify or delete. Since the AuC is still active, the system prevents the deletion or modification of the asset.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AY128 error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Asset: Identify the asset that is causing the error. You can do this by checking the asset master data in the Asset Accounting module.
  
  
  Review AuC Status: Confirm whether there is an active asset under construction associated with the asset. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record and checking the status.
  
  
  Delete or Settle AuC:
  
  If the AuC is no longer needed, you can delete it. This can typically be done through transaction code ABAVN (for asset retirement) or ABT1N (for transfer).
  If the AuC needs to be settled (i.e., capitalized), you can use transaction code AIAB to settle the AuC to a fixed asset.
  
  
  
  Remove Statistical Indicator: If the statistical indicator is no longer required, you can remove it from the asset master record. This can be done in the asset master data maintenance transaction (e.g., AS02).
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action: After addressing the AuC and the statistical indicator, you can re-attempt the action that initially triggered the error.
