• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE105 - POB &1: changing def. method f. &2 to F is not support. w. freeze periods ?

  The SAP error message FARR_CONTR_LIFECYCLE105 typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there is an attempt to change the depreciation method of an asset during a period that is frozen for changes. This error indicates that the system does not allow modifications to the depreciation method due to the asset's lifecycle status and the defined freeze periods.
  Cause:
  
  Frozen Periods: The asset's depreciation method cannot be changed because the period is frozen. This is often set in the configuration to prevent changes to financial data after a certain point in time (e.g., after financial statements have been closed).
  Lifecycle Status: The asset may be in a lifecycle status that does not permit changes to the depreciation method.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict changes to certain fields during specific periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Freeze Periods: Review the freeze periods set in your system. You may need to unfreeze the period if it is necessary to change the depreciation method. This can typically be done in the configuration settings for Asset Accounting.
  Change Lifecycle Status: If applicable, change the lifecycle status of the asset to allow for modifications. This may involve moving the asset to a different status that permits changes.
  Consult with Finance Team: Coordinate with your finance team to understand the implications of changing the depreciation method and whether it is necessary to do so.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like OAYZ (for changing the freeze period) or OAYR (for changing the asset's lifecycle status) to make the necessary adjustments.
  Documentation: Ensure that any changes made are well-documented and comply with your organization's policies and procedures.
  
  Related Information:
