  The SAP error message CNV_OT_APPL_PE304 indicates that there is an issue with the transaction type key for a depreciation area in the context of asset accounting. Specifically, the error message states that the transaction type key for depreciation area 01 is being used for another depreciation area, which is not allowed.
