AY416 - Details

• The SAP error message AY416, which states "Depreciation simulation data was changed," typically occurs during the depreciation run or when simulating depreciation for fixed assets. This error indicates that the system has detected changes in the depreciation simulation data that may affect the calculations.
  Causes:
  
  Data Changes: The most common cause is that the underlying data for the asset has been changed after the simulation was run. This could include changes to asset master data, acquisition values, or other related parameters.
  Concurrent Processing: If multiple users are trying to simulate or post depreciation for the same asset at the same time, it can lead to conflicts and this error.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the asset accounting settings may also lead to this error.
  Locked Records: If the asset records are locked by another process or user, it can prevent the simulation from completing successfully.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Changes: Review the asset master data and any related
