• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA945 - Investment order & must be statistical (Correct your entry) ?

  The SAP error message AA945 ("Investment order & must be statistical (Correct your entry)") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to post a transaction related to an investment order that is not set up correctly in the system. This error indicates that the investment order you are trying to use is expected to be a statistical order, but it is not configured as such.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Order Type: The investment order you are trying to use is not defined as a statistical order in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The investment order may not be set up correctly in the system, or the settings for the order type may not allow for statistical postings.
  Posting Type: The type of posting you are trying to perform may not be compatible with the order type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code KO02 (Change Order) or KO03 (Display Order) to check the configuration of the investment order.
  Ensure that the order type is set up as a statistical order. You can check this in the order type settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO).
  
  
  
  Review Investment Order Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration for investment orders in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Integration with Controlling > Define Investment Orders).
  Ensure that the investment order is correctly defined and that it is marked as statistical if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Correct the Posting:
  
  If you are trying to post a transaction that should not involve a statistical order, consider using a different order or adjusting the transaction type you are trying to post.
