  The SAP error message UCFI009, which states "You can choose only 1 valuation allowance: with or without losses," typically occurs in the context of financial accounting and asset valuation in SAP. This error is related to the configuration of valuation allowances for assets, particularly in the context of impairment or loss recognition.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a conflict in the configuration settings for valuation allowances in the system.

You may have attempted to apply both a valuation allowance with losses and one without losses simultaneously, which is not permitted.
  Solution:

  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for asset accounting (transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the section for "Financial Accounting" -> "Asset Accounting" -> "Valuation" -> "Define Valuation Allowances."
  Review the settings to ensure that you have only one type of valuation allowance configured (either with losses or without losses).
  
  
  
  Adjust Valuation Allowance:
  
  If you need to change the type of valuation allowance, you may need to adjust the settings in the asset master data or the relevant configuration.
  Ensure that the asset or group of assets is set up correctly to reflect the desired valuation allowance type.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Check the asset master data for the specific asset that is causing the error. Ensure that the valuation allowance settings are consistent with your configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
