• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC-KR804 - Depreciation method & is not a declining balance method ?

  The SAP error message ICC-KR804 indicates that there is an issue with the depreciation method assigned to an asset in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. Specifically, it states that the depreciation method being used is not a declining balance method, which is required for the transaction or configuration you are attempting to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Depreciation Method: The asset may have been assigned a depreciation method that does not support declining balance calculations. This can happen if the asset was set up with a straight-line method or another method that does not allow for declining balance depreciation.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module may not be set up correctly to allow for the use of declining balance methods.

  Adjust Transaction Type:
  
  If the transaction you are trying to execute requires a declining balance method, ensure that you are using the correct transaction type that aligns with the asset's depreciation method.
