• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACC_AA065 - Only areas that post online can be entered here ?

  The SAP error message ACC_AA065 ("Only areas that post online can be entered here") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to enter or modify data in an area that is not configured to post online. This can happen during transactions related to asset transactions, such as acquisitions, transfers, or retirements.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to enter data in an asset area that is set up for periodic posting rather than online posting. In SAP Asset Accounting, asset areas can be configured to either post transactions immediately (online) or to accumulate transactions and post them at a later time (periodic).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Integration > Define Asset Areas.
  Check the settings for the asset area you are trying to post to. Ensure that it is configured for online posting if you need to enter transactions directly.
  
  
  
  Change Posting Area:
  
  If the asset area is not meant to post online, consider using a different asset area that is configured for online posting, if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction type you are using is compatible with the asset area settings. Some transaction types may only be valid for certain asset areas.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on asset area configurations and their implications on posting behavior.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue through configuration changes, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform transactions in the specified asset area.
  Testing in a Sandbox Environment: If possible, test changes in a sandbox environment before applying them to the production system to avoid disruptions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
