• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_AST126 - Enter same currency for sub-asset &1 and the asset to which it belongs ?

  The SAP error message CMS_AST126 indicates that there is a currency mismatch between a sub-asset and its parent asset. This error typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to create or modify a sub-asset that has a different currency than the main asset it is associated with.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the currency of the sub-asset does not match the currency of the parent asset. In SAP, all sub-assets must share the same currency as their parent asset to maintain consistency in financial reporting and asset management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Currency:
  
  Navigate to the asset master record of the parent asset and check its currency.
  You can do this by using transaction code AS03 (Display Asset) and entering the asset number.
  
  
  
  Check Sub-Asset Currency:
  
  If you are trying to create or modify a sub-asset, check the currency settings for the sub-asset.
  You can do this by using transaction code AS01 (Create Asset) or AS02 (Change Asset) and entering the sub-asset number.
  
  
  
  Align Currencies:
  
  If the currencies do not match, you will need to either:
  
  Change the currency of the sub-asset to match the parent asset's currency.
  If the sub-asset is already created, you may need to delete it and recreate it with the correct currency.
  Alternatively, if the parent asset's currency is incorrect, you may need to change it (though this is less common and may have implications).
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may affect currency assignments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create or modify the sub-asset again to see if the error persists.
