AC320 - Details

• The SAP error message AC320, which states "Enter a validity date (FROM date)," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to create or modify an asset master record, or when you are performing transactions related to asset management.
  
  Cause:
  The error indicates that a required field for the validity date (specifically the "FROM date") has not been filled in. This date is essential for defining the period during which the asset is valid in the system. The absence of this date prevents the system from processing the transaction.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AC320 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Input Fields: Ensure that you have filled in all mandatory fields in the asset master record or transaction screen. Specifically, look for the "Validity Date" or "From Date" field.
  
  
  Enter a Validity Date: If the "From Date" field is empty, enter a valid date that indicates when the asset becomes effective.
