• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA435 - Not possible to post transaction (area & does not manage APC) ?

  The SAP error message AA435 indicates that a transaction cannot be posted because the specified area does not manage Acquisition and Production Costs (APC). This typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when trying to post transactions related to asset management.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The asset area in question is not configured to manage APC. This can happen if the asset area is set up for a different type of accounting (e.g., only for depreciation) and does not include APC functionality.
  Incorrect Asset Area: The asset area being used for the transaction may not be appropriate for the type of posting you are trying to perform.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type being used may not be compatible with the asset area settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAOA).
  Verify the settings for the asset area in question. Ensure that it is configured to manage APC if you intend to post transactions that involve acquisition costs.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction type you are using is appropriate for the asset area. You can check this in the configuration settings for transaction types (Transaction code: OAOA).
  If necessary, adjust the transaction type or select a different one that is compatible with the asset area.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to Asset Accounting and APC to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for posting transactions.
