3658902 - Error: Usage of depreciation method <Z123> in valuation view 1 of set of books "ABC" for fixed asset XYZ is permitted only for internal valuation views

Symptom

A custom depreciation method "Z123" was created using the template "CTSLSPSD" and when trying to assign the custom depreciation "Z123" to a fixed asset, the following error occurs:

Usage of depreciation method <Z123> in valuation view 1 of set of books "ABC" for fixed asset XYZ is permitted only for internal valuation views

"Z123" means the Depreciation Method Key
"ABC" means the Set of book ID
"XYZ" means the Fixed Asset ID

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Fixed Assets work center > Fixed Assets view.
  2. Search for the Fixed Asset ID: XYZ 
  3. Open the Fixed Asset and click View All.
  4. Navigate to Master Data > Asset Valuation.
  5. Try to assign the depreciation method "Z123."
  6. Observe the error message: "Usage of depreciation method <Z123> in valuation view 1 of set of books "ABC" for fixed asset XYZ is permitted only for internal valuation views"

Cause

Template CTSLSPSD has a restriction that allows the depreciation method to be used only for internal valuation views and not for book valuation views.

Resolution

For custom templates copied from template CTSLSPSD, the system only allows depreciation in internal valuation views.
This is the expected system behavior.
