Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA808 - Group asset is not allowed (entry is rejected) ?

  The SAP error message AA808 ("Group asset is not allowed (entry is rejected)") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to post an asset transaction that involves a group asset, but the system is configured in such a way that it does not allow postings to group assets.
  Cause:
  
  Group Asset Configuration: The system is set up to prevent postings to group assets directly. Group assets are used for reporting and aggregation purposes, and individual assets should be posted instead.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type you are using may not be configured to allow postings to group assets.
  Asset Master Data: The asset master data may not be correctly set up to allow for the intended transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Post to Individual Assets: Instead of trying to post to the group asset, ensure that you are posting to the individual assets that are part of the group. You can find the individual assets associated with the group asset in the asset master data.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that the transaction types and asset classes are set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP FI-AA configuration team.
  Transaction Type Settings: If you need to allow postings to group assets for specific transaction types, you may need to adjust the settings in the transaction type configuration (Transaction OAOA).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling group assets and the specific configuration settings that may be relevant.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), or AS03 (Display Asset) to manage asset master data.
  Asset Classes: Ensure that the asset classes associated with the assets are correctly configured to allow for the intended transactions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling group assets.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Asset Accounting for further assistance.
