  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCFU037 - Year/period of retirement of asset &1 has been changed ?

    The SAP error message UCFU037 indicates that there has been a change in the year or period of retirement for a specific asset (denoted by &1). This error typically arises during asset retirement transactions, such as when trying to retire an asset that has already been processed or when there are inconsistencies in the asset's retirement data.

    Cause:

    1. Data Inconsistency: The year or period of retirement for the asset has been modified after the asset was initially set up or after transactions were posted against it.
    2. Posting Period Issues: The posting period for the asset retirement may be closed or not open for posting.
    3. Configuration Changes: Changes in the asset accounting configuration that affect how retirement periods are handled.
    4. Manual Changes: Manual adjustments made to the asset master data that conflict with existing transactions.

    Solution:

    1. Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data for the asset in question to ensure that the retirement year and period are correctly set.
    2. Review Transaction History: Look at the transaction history for the asset to identify any changes that may have been made to the retirement period.
    3. Open Posting Periods: Ensure that the posting period for the retirement transaction is open. If it is closed, you may need to open it or adjust the transaction date.
    4. Revert Changes: If the retirement year/period was changed manually, consider reverting it to the original value if it is appropriate to do so.
    5. Consult Configuration: If there have been recent changes to the asset accounting configuration, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that these changes are not causing the issue.
    6. Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like AS02 (Change Asset) to check and modify asset details if necessary.
