• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC202 - Asset view is not active. Choose another view ?

  The SAP error message AC202 ("Asset view is not active. Choose another view") typically occurs when you are trying to access an asset in Asset Accounting (FI-AA) using a view that is not currently active or available for that asset. This can happen for various reasons, such as configuration settings or the asset not being set up correctly.
  Causes:
  
  Inactive View: The specific view you are trying to access (e.g., Book view, Cost view, etc.) is not activated for the asset.
  Configuration Issues: The asset might not be configured properly in the system, leading to the view not being available.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain views of the asset.
  Asset Status: The asset may be in a status that does not allow access to certain views (e.g., retired or disposed).
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Asset Configuration:
  
  Go to the Asset Master Data (transaction code AS03) and check the views available for the asset. Ensure that the view you are trying to access is active.
  If the view is not active, you may need to activate it or create the necessary configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the asset is correctly set up with all required views. You can do this by using transaction code AS01 (Create Asset) or AS02 (Change Asset) to review the asset details.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to access the asset views. This can be done by consulting with your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Change View:
  
  If the view you are trying to access is not available, consider selecting a different view that is active for the asset.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidance on asset configuration and view activation.
