• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC-KR812 - Depreciation key &1 uses a declining-balance calculation key (&2) ?

  The SAP error message ICC-KR812 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the depreciation key and the calculation method being used for asset depreciation. Specifically, it points out that the depreciation key you are trying to use is set up to use a declining-balance calculation method, which may not be appropriate for the asset or the context in which it is being applied.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Depreciation Key: The depreciation key you are using (denoted as &1 in the error message) is configured to use a declining-balance calculation method (denoted as &2), but the asset or the transaction does not support this method.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a mismatch in the configuration settings for the asset class, depreciation area, or the specific asset itself.
  Incorrect Asset Type: The asset type may not be compatible with the declining-balance method, which is typically used for certain types of assets.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Depreciation Key Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the depreciation key in the SAP system (Transaction code: OADB).
  Verify that the depreciation key is correctly set up for the intended asset type and that it is appropriate for the asset class.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Class Settings:
  
  Check the asset class settings (Transaction code: OAOA) to ensure that the depreciation method aligns with the asset type and the intended calculation method.
  Ensure that the asset class allows for the use of the declining-balance method.
  
  
  
  Change Depreciation Key:
  
  If the depreciation key is not suitable for the asset, consider changing it to a different key that is compatible with the straight-line or other calculation methods.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on depreciation keys and calculation methods.
