  The SAP error message AA357 ("Posting not possible in current document with this trans.type") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is an issue with the transaction type being used for posting an asset transaction. This error can arise due to several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Transaction Type Configuration: The transaction type being used may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to missing settings or restrictions on the transaction type for the specific document type or posting period.
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type associated with the posting may not allow the specific transaction type. Each document type can have specific transaction types that are permitted.
  
  
  Posting Period Issues: The posting period may be closed or not open for the transaction type being used. If the period is closed, postings cannot be made.
  
  
  Asset Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the asset master data, such as the asset being in a status that does not allow postings (e.g., retired or inactive).
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction with the specified transaction type.
