Message text: Depreciation area &4 is not active in the asset class



What causes this issue?

Company code &v1& uses parallel currencies in Financial Accounting. For
each independent depreciation area for investment support on the
liabilities side, you have to set up an additional parallel
depreciation area for each local currency in Financial Accounting.
The investment support key entered in the asset master record uses
depreciation area &v3&. The parallel depreciation area that belongs to
area &v3& is depreciation area &v4&. Area &v4&, however, does not exist
in asset class &v2&, or else it has been deactivated there. As a
result, this depreciation area cannot be created at the asset level.


System Response

You cannot enter this investment support in the asset master record.


How to fix this error?

In order to use this investment support in company code &v1& for assets
in asset class &v2&, you have to activate depreciation area &v4& in
asset class &v2& in the chart of depreciation of company code &v1&.
