• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_FIAA_JP_ANNEX16028 - You have defined more than one depreciation area with glo_val_type "&1" ?

  The SAP error message GLO_FIAA_JP_ANNEX16028 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the depreciation areas in the Asset Accounting module. Specifically, it suggests that more than one depreciation area has been defined with the same value type (glo_val_type "&1"), which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The error typically arises when multiple depreciation areas are configured to use the same value type. In SAP, each depreciation area should have a unique value type to avoid conflicts in financial reporting and asset valuation.

  Review Value Types:

  Modify Configuration:
  
  If you find that multiple depreciation areas are using the same value type, you will need to modify the configuration.
  Assign a different value type to one or more of the depreciation areas to ensure that each has a unique value type.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by running the relevant transactions to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
