• Message number: 315

• Message text: Deprec. simulation data was already created using investment profile &1

What causes this issue?

You tried to delete the existing investment profile or to enter a
different investment profile.

System Response

Depreciation simulation data was already created for the internal order
based on investment profile &V1&. Therefore the system does not allow
the investment profile to be changed here.

How to fix this error?

You can change the investment profile only if <ZH>both</> of the
following conditions are fulfilled:
A posted asset under construction (AuC) is not assigned to the internal
order.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY315 - Deprec. simulation data was already created using investment profile &1 ?

  The SAP error message AY315 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation simulation data for an asset. Specifically, it states that depreciation simulation data has already been created using the specified investment profile. This typically occurs when you attempt to create or simulate depreciation for an asset that has already had simulation data generated for it.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Simulation Data: The primary cause of this error is that the depreciation simulation data for the asset in question has already been created. This can happen if the simulation process was run previously, and the system does not allow for duplicate entries.
  Investment Profile: The investment profile specified in the error message is associated with the asset, and it may have specific settings that prevent re-simulation or modification of existing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Simulation Data: Review the asset's existing depreciation simulation data to confirm that it has already been created. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record and checking the depreciation areas.
  Delete Existing Simulation Data: If you need to re-run the simulation, you may need to delete the existing simulation data. This can typically be done through the asset accounting transaction codes (like AS02 for changing asset master data) or through specific reports that allow you to manage simulation data.
  Use Different Investment Profile: If applicable, consider using a different investment profile that does not have existing simulation data associated with it.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps on how to handle depreciation simulation data for your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) to manage asset data.
  Depreciation Areas: Understand how depreciation areas work in SAP and how they relate to investment profiles.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete or modify simulation data, as restrictions may apply based on user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
