• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J662 - Double acquisition. An acquisition already exists for & (document &). ?

  The SAP error message 9J662 ("Double acquisition. An acquisition already exists for & (document &).") typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is an attempt to post an acquisition for an asset that has already been acquired in the system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as duplicate entries or incorrect processing of asset transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Acquisition Posting: The most common cause is that an acquisition for the same asset has already been posted, and the system does not allow a second acquisition for the same asset without proper adjustments.
  Incorrect Document Flow: There may be issues with the document flow where the system is not recognizing that the acquisition has already been processed.
  Manual Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently attempt to post an acquisition for an asset that has already been acquired.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Acquisitions: Review the asset master data and acquisition history to confirm if an acquisition has already been posted for the asset in question. You can do this by navigating to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and checking the acquisition details.
  Correct Duplicate Entries: If a duplicate acquisition is found, you may need to reverse the incorrect entry. This can be done using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., AB08 for reversing an asset transaction).
  Adjust Document Flow: If the document flow is incorrect, ensure that all related documents are properly processed and that there are no pending transactions that could be causing the issue.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct course of action, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that any adjustments made are in compliance with accounting standards and practices.
