AA416 - Details

  • Error Code: AA416

    Error Message: Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data)


    Summary

    This error occurs when you attempt to retire or remove old asset data, but the system cannot find any existing old asset records to process. Essentially, the system expects old asset data to be present for retirement, but none exists.


    Root Causes

    • No old asset data has been created or posted for the asset in question.
    • The asset master record does not contain any historical or old asset entries eligible for retirement.
    • Incorrect selection criteria or parameters used during the retirement process, leading to no matching old asset data.
    • Data inconsistencies or missing postings in the asset history tables (e.g., ANLA, ANLB) causing the system to not recognize old asset data.
