• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_FIAA02015 - Duplicate impairment dates are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message GLO_FIAA02015: Duplicate impairment dates are not allowed typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when you attempt to post an impairment (or write-down) for an asset that has already been impaired on the same date. This is a validation error that prevents the system from allowing multiple impairment entries for the same asset on the same date.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Impairment Entry: The most common cause is that there is already an existing impairment entry for the asset on the date you are trying to post a new impairment.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the date you are entering, leading to an overlap with an existing impairment.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration or settings may not allow for multiple impairments on the same date.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Impairments: Review the asset's impairment history to see if there is already an impairment recorded for the date you are trying to use. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record and checking the impairment postings.
  Change the Date: If you find that there is already an impairment on that date, you will need to either:
  
  Change the date of your new impairment to a different date.
  Adjust the existing impairment if necessary (e.g., if the new impairment is meant to replace the old one).
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct course of action, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that the impairment entries are being handled correctly.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow multiple impairments on the same date (which is generally not standard practice), you may need to review the configuration settings in SAP or consult with your SAP administrator.
