• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FO070 - You cannot change procedure because of generic entries for FMAA revenue ?

  The SAP error message FO070, which states "You cannot change procedure because of generic entries for FMAA revenue," typically occurs in the context of Fixed Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there are generic entries that prevent changes to the depreciation or valuation procedure for an asset.
  Cause:
  
  Generic Entries: The error is primarily caused by the presence of generic entries in the asset master data that are linked to the FMAA (Fixed Asset Accounting) revenue. These entries can be related to depreciation areas, asset classes, or other configurations that are not compatible with the changes you are trying to make.
  Locked Configuration: The system may have locked certain configurations due to existing transactions or postings that reference the asset or its associated procedures.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the asset master data or related configuration settings that prevent the procedure from being changed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Generic Entries: Review the asset master data for any generic entries that may be causing the issue. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record and checking the relevant depreciation areas and settings.
  Review Depreciation Areas: Ensure that the depreciation areas are correctly configured and that there are no conflicting settings that would prevent changes to the procedure.
  Transaction History: Check if there are any transactions (e.g., acquisitions, retirements, transfers) that have been posted to the asset. If there are, you may need to reverse or adjust these transactions before making changes to the procedure.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings for the asset class and depreciation keys to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes such as AS02 (Change Asset) or OAYZ (Change Depreciation Area) to investigate and make necessary adjustments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling FMAA revenue and related configurations.
