• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GC094 - Only complete retirement is possible ?

  The SAP error message GC094 "Only complete retirement is possible" typically occurs in the context of asset retirement in SAP Asset Accounting (FI-AA). This error indicates that the system is preventing a partial retirement of an asset, and only a complete retirement can be processed.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Type Configuration: The asset type may be configured to only allow complete retirements. This is often set in the asset master data or in the configuration settings for asset accounting.
  Retirement Method: The method of retirement being used may not support partial retirements. For example, if the asset is fully depreciated or if there are specific restrictions on the asset type.
  Asset Status: The status of the asset may not allow for partial retirement. If the asset is in a certain status (e.g., retired, sold, etc.), it may restrict the type of retirement that can be performed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data to ensure that the asset type allows for partial retirements. If it does not, you may need to change the asset type or adjust the configuration.
  Review Retirement Method: Ensure that the retirement method you are using supports partial retirements. If it does not, you may need to consider a complete retirement instead.
  Complete Retirement: If a complete retirement is the only option, proceed with that. This involves retiring the entire asset rather than a portion of it.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for asset retirement in the Asset Accounting module to see if there are any restrictions in place that can be modified.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and ABAVN (Retirement of an Asset).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Asset Accounting and retirement processes for more detailed guidance.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform asset retirements, as restrictions may also be role-based.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the GC094 error and proceed with the appropriate asset retirement process.
