• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA349 - You cannot enter quantity/amount (Several sub-numbers chosen) ?

  The SAP error message AA349 ("You cannot enter quantity/amount (Several sub-numbers chosen)") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to post a transaction that involves multiple sub-numbers (sub-assets) for an asset, but the system does not allow you to enter a quantity or amount for that transaction.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Sub-Assets Selected: You are trying to post a transaction (like acquisition, transfer, or retirement) for an asset that has multiple sub-assets selected, but the system requires a single sub-asset to process the transaction.
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction type you are using may not support posting to multiple sub-assets simultaneously.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module that restrict the posting of amounts or quantities when multiple sub-assets are involved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AA349 error, you can take the following steps:
