SAP Error Resolution Transcript ERPlingo: ### 1. Confirm Outline & User Focus Thank you for providing the details about the error you are encountering. Here’s the outline of the error analysis we will follow: 1. Error Explanation 2. Possible Causes 3. Proposed Solutions 4. Tips and Best Practices Before we begin, do you want to add any additional details regarding your recent upgrade to S/4HANA or any specific constraints you might have? Are you ready to begin with the Error Explanation? --- User: begin --- ERPlingo: ### 2. Error Explanation The error code AA729 with the message *"Not all the documents in the last posting run were posted"* indicates that the posting session created during your last depreciation posting run was not fully processed. This typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module, which is part of the broader Financial Accounting (FI) module in SAP. In your scenario, where you are attempting to execute monthly depreciation postings, this error suggests that there are documents from the last posting run that have not been successfully posted. As a result, the system prevents you from initiating a new posting run until the previous session is completely processed. This situation can arise particularly after an upgrade to S/4HANA, where changes in system behavior or configuration might affect how posting sessions are handled. Does this explanation of the error AA729 make sense in your monthly depreciation posting results in an error scenario? Any questions before we look at Possible Causes? --- User: continue --- ERPlingo: ### 3. Possible Causes Here are some common causes for the error AA729, particularly in the context of monthly depreciation postings: 1. Incomplete Posting Session – Caused by system errors, user interruptions, or other issues that prevented finalization. 2. Locked Documents – Ongoing transactions or user locks may block completion. 3. Configuration Changes – Especially after an S/4HANA upgrade, impacting document number ranges or accounting settings. 4. Missing or Incorrect Master Data – Incomplete or incorrectly maintained asset records. 5. Batch Input Session Issues – Errors in sessions using batch input. 6. Authorization Issues – Lack of required permissions to complete the posting. 7. System Performance Issues – Timeouts or delays during the posting process. Which of these common causes seems most likely in your situation? Would you like more detail on any of them, or shall we move on to Proposed Solutions? --- User: maybe 3? not sure. --- ERPlingo: ### 4. Proposed Solutions If you suspect that configuration changes related to your recent upgrade to S/4HANA might be causing the error AA729, here are steps you can take: 1. Check Posting Session Status * Transaction code: `S_ALR_87011963` (Display Asset Accounting Posting Run) * Review for unposted documents. 2. Reprocess the Posting Session * If still open: use `ABAVN` to cancel incomplete postings and then repost. 3. Recreate the Posting Session * Use `ABT1N` to regenerate the session. Ensure document number ranges are properly set. 4. Review Configuration Settings * Transaction: `SPRO` → Financial Accounting (New) → Asset Accounting → Integration * Validate document types and number ranges. 5. Validate Master Data * Use `AS03` to inspect asset master records for completeness. 6. Check for Locked Documents * Use `SM12` to review and remove unnecessary lock entries. 7. Consult System Logs * Use `SLG1` to check for warnings or system errors during the last run. 8. User Authorizations * Use `SU53` to confirm permission issues after execution attempts. Do these solutions seem workable for your scenario? Would you like more detail, or shall we continue with Tips and Best Practices? --- User: continue --- ERPlingo: ### 5. Tips and Best Practices To prevent the AA729 error from reoccurring, consider the following: 1. Monitor Posting Sessions Regularly * Use `S_ALR_87011963` to proactively detect incomplete sessions. 2.
