• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY135 - It is not possible to deactivate in fiscal year &1 ?

  The SAP error message AY135, which states "It is not possible to deactivate in fiscal year &1," typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when you attempt to deactivate an asset or a specific asset transaction in a fiscal year that has already been closed or is not allowed for deactivation.
  Cause:
  
  Closed Fiscal Year: The fiscal year you are trying to deactivate the asset in has already been closed. In SAP, once a fiscal year is closed, certain transactions, including deactivating assets, are restricted to maintain the integrity of financial reporting.
  Configuration Settings: The system settings may not allow deactivation in certain fiscal years due to company policy or configuration settings in the asset accounting module.
  Posting Periods: The posting periods for the fiscal year may be closed, preventing any changes to asset statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Fiscal Year Status: Verify if the fiscal year you are trying to deactivate the asset in is indeed closed. You can do this by checking the fiscal year settings in the configuration.
  Open the Fiscal Year: If it is necessary to deactivate the asset, you may need to open the fiscal year temporarily. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change View "Open and Close Posting Periods").
  Adjusting the posting periods to allow for changes.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: Before making changes to fiscal year settings, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
  Use Alternative Transactions: If deactivation is not possible, consider using alternative transactions such as transferring the asset or adjusting its status in a way that complies with the current fiscal year settings.
  
  Related Information:
