  The SAP error message GLOFAARU_DEPRBON034 indicates that there are multiple tax depreciation areas maintained for a specific company code, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues in asset accounting. This error typically arises during asset transactions or when trying to post asset-related documents.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected more than one tax depreciation area configured for the same company code.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and correct the configuration of the depreciation areas for the affected company code. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Asset Accounting Configuration:

  Check Depreciation Areas:
  
  Look for the company code in question and review the depreciation areas that are assigned.
  Identify if there are multiple tax depreciation areas defined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Depreciation Areas:

  You may need to delete or deactivate the unnecessary tax depreciation areas or reconfigure them to ensure that only one is active for tax calculations.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
