• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY406 - Correct distribution - invest. profile &1 allows amounts only ?

  The SAP error message AY406 indicates that there is an issue with the investment profile configuration in the Asset Accounting module. Specifically, it suggests that the investment profile you are using allows only amounts to be distributed, but the system is trying to process a distribution that is not compatible with this setting.
