• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACC_AA060 - Posting control is not allowed in derived area ?

  The SAP error message ACC_AA060 ("Posting control is not allowed in derived area") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there is an attempt to post to a derived area that does not allow postings. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to post transactions related to asset management or when dealing with asset transfers.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Derived Area Restrictions: The area you are trying to post to is a derived area (like area 01 for book depreciation) that does not allow direct postings. Derived areas are usually calculated based on the values from the leading area (like area 00).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module that restrict postings to certain areas.
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction type being used may not be compatible with the derived area.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Posting Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in Asset Accounting (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Integration > Define Areas for Asset Accounting.
  Ensure that the derived area is correctly configured and that it is set up to allow postings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Area:
  
  If you are trying to post to a derived area, consider posting to the leading area instead (e.g., area 00) and let the system derive the values for the other areas.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Types:
  
  Check the transaction type you are using for the posting. Ensure that it is appropriate for the area you are trying to post to. You can find this in the configuration under Transaction Types in Asset Accounting.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to Asset Accounting for more detailed information on derived areas and posting controls.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to post to the specified area.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test posting to verify that the issue has been resolved.
