• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0029 - Ind. cannot be selected if yr/per. of 1st cons. = yr/per. divest. acctg ?

  The SAP error message G0029 indicates that there is an issue with the selection of an indicator in the context of asset accounting, specifically related to the year and period of the first consolidation and the year and period of divestiture accounting. This error typically arises when there is a conflict between the periods defined for the asset and the periods being used for divestiture accounting.
  Cause:

  The indicator for the asset cannot be selected because the year and period of the first consolidation are the same as the year and period of divestiture accounting. This situation is not allowed in SAP, as it creates a conflict in the accounting periods.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Adjust the Periods:
  
  If the periods are indeed the same, you will need to adjust either the first consolidation period or the divestiture accounting period to ensure they are different.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module to ensure that the settings for consolidation and divestiture are correctly defined.
