• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECETM100 - &1: Fixed periods are not supported as valuation frequency ?

  The SAP error message RECETM100 with the description "Fixed periods are not supported as valuation frequency" typically occurs in the context of asset accounting or valuation in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to use a fixed period for valuation frequency, which is not supported in the current configuration or context.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Frequency Configuration: The valuation frequency for the asset or the transaction is set to a fixed period, which is not allowed. SAP requires a different type of frequency, such as monthly or yearly.

  Navigate to the asset master data (transaction code AS02) and check the valuation frequency settings.
  Ensure that the valuation frequency is set to a supported option (e.g., monthly or yearly) instead of a fixed period.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings in the Asset Accounting module (transaction code SPRO).

  Review Transaction Type:
