• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA068 - Request only lists of assets, main numbers or group totals. ?

  The SAP error message AA068 ("Request only lists of assets, main numbers or group totals") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to execute a report or transaction that is not configured to display detailed asset information. This error indicates that the system is expecting a request that only includes summary data, such as lists of assets, main asset numbers, or group totals, rather than detailed line items.
  Cause:
  
  Report Configuration: The report or transaction you are trying to execute is set up to only display summary information, and you may be trying to request detailed information.

  Solution:
  
  Check Report Type: Ensure that you are using the correct report or transaction code that allows for detailed asset information. If you need detailed information, use a report designed for that purpose.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review and adjust your selection criteria to ensure they align with the report's capabilities. If the report is meant to show only summaries, modify your request accordingly.
  Review Authorizations: Check if you have the necessary authorizations to view detailed asset information. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Use Alternative Reports: If you need detailed asset information, consider using alternative reports or transactions that are designed to provide that level of detail, such as transaction codes like AW01N (Asset Explorer) or S_ALR_87011990 (Asset Balances).
