3593674 - Changing the depreciation key for different types of unposted assets results in varying outcomes - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

After changing the original depreciation key to "0000," unposted legacy assets encounter error message AB720 - 'Enter a depreciation key with 'depreciation by days' such as XXXX' , whereas unposted fixed assets do not. 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

System standard behavior.

Resolution

Once a legacy asset master data is created, its depreciation key (dep to the day) cannot be changed to a non-dep to the day depreciation key.

  1. Create a new sub-legacy-asset
  2. Set the depreciation key "0000"
  3. Transfer the main legacy asset to the sub-legacy-asset.
