  The SAP error message FAA_CFG_CHECK119 indicates that a specific valuation view (ValView) is being attempted to be changed or deleted, but it cannot be modified because it is still in use within the system's Customizing settings. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when trying to make changes to valuation views that are linked to various configurations or transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The valuation view you are trying to change is actively being used in the system. This could be due to existing configurations, transactions, or master data that reference this valuation view.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on this valuation view from other configurations or settings in the Asset Accounting module.
  Customizing Settings: The valuation view is part of the Customizing settings that have not been updated or removed, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Check where the valuation view is being used. You can do this by reviewing the Customizing settings in the Asset Accounting module. Look for any references to the valuation view in question.
  Remove References: If the valuation view is no longer needed, you will need to remove all references to it in the Customizing settings. This may involve:
  
  Deleting or modifying any configurations that use this valuation view.
  Ensuring that no asset classes, depreciation areas, or other related settings are linked to this view.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific valuation view and its usage to ensure that you are not inadvertently affecting other configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, test the system to ensure that everything functions correctly without the valuation view.
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes are transported to the production environment following your organization's change management procedures.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as OAYD (for Asset Accounting Customizing) or OAYE (for Valuation View settings) to navigate to the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Consulting SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is impacting critical business processes.
