Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AAPO153 - Asset &1 does not manage quantity, entering quantity not allowed ?

  The SAP error message AAPO153 indicates that you are trying to enter a quantity for an asset that is not set up to manage quantities. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when you attempt to post a transaction that involves a quantity for an asset that is configured to manage only values (monetary amounts) and not quantities.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Configuration: The asset in question is configured in such a way that it does not manage quantities. This is often the case for financial assets where only monetary values are relevant.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to perform (e.g., acquisition, transfer, or retirement) may require a quantity input, but the asset is not set up to handle that.
  Master Data Settings: The asset master data may not have the necessary settings to allow for quantity management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Configuration:
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and check the configuration settings.
  Ensure that the asset is set up to manage quantities if that is required for your business process. This can be done by checking the "Quantity Management" indicator in the asset master data.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction type you are using is appropriate for the asset. If the asset does not manage quantities, you should use a transaction type that only requires monetary values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  If the asset should manage quantities, you may need to adjust the asset master data settings. This may involve changing the asset class or other relevant settings.
  If the asset should not manage quantities, ensure that you are not entering a quantity in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on asset configuration and transaction types.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Asset Classes: Different asset classes in SAP may have different settings regarding quantity management. Review the asset class configuration to ensure it aligns with your requirements.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) for managing asset master data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to asset management and error messages.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Asset Accounting for further assistance.
