• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA080 - Group & belongs to a different field ?

  The SAP error message GA080 ("Group & belongs to a different field") typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is an inconsistency between the asset master data and the group or field it is associated with. This error can arise during various transactions, such as when trying to post an asset transaction or when attempting to change asset master data.
  Cause:

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting module that are not aligned with the asset's current settings.
