How To Fix AIST024 - Only an interval of time-dependent data can be transferred

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AIST - Messages for Asset Master Record

• Message number: 024

• Message text: Only an interval of time-dependent data can be transferred

What causes this issue?

You are using a transaction to create a new fixed asset that is not
meant primarily for maintaining fixed asset master data (creation using
dialog box). The new fixed asset is then created with reference or as a
fixed asset subnumber. You are getting this message because several
intervals of time-dependent data are defined for the reference fixed
asset or main asset number:
&V1&
&V2&
Note that only one interval of time-dependent data can be transferred to
the new fixed asset with this type of creation. To adopt several
intervals from the reference asset or main asset number, you must use
the normal master data transactions for the maintenance of fixed assets.

System Response

In accordance with the system setting, this message is issued. Either to
inform you about the restriction (information, warning message), or to
stop the creation process (error message).

How to fix this error?

In most cases, the existing functionality suffices. If however it is
necessary to adopt several intervals of time-dependent data from the
reference asset or main asset number (for example, because historical
data should be transferred or time-dependent data was already maintained
for the future), you must create the new asset beforehand in a separate
step using the master record transaction (AS01, AS11).

Procedure for System Administrators

You can configure the type of this message as described in note 2156109
to suit your requirements.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AIST024 - Only an interval of time-dependent data can be transferred ?

  The SAP error message AIST024 ("Only an interval of time-dependent data can be transferred") typically occurs in the context of data transfer processes, particularly when dealing with time-dependent data in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system expects a time interval for the data being processed, but the data provided does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Time Interval: The data being transferred does not include a valid time interval. Time-dependent data requires a start and end date to define the period during which the data is valid.
  Incorrect Data Format: The format of the data being transferred may not conform to the expected structure, leading to the system not recognizing it as time-dependent.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not set up correctly for handling time-dependent data.
  Data Inconsistency: The data being transferred may have inconsistencies or errors that prevent it from being recognized as a valid time-dependent entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Input: Ensure that the data being transferred includes a valid time interval with both start and end dates. Verify that the dates are correctly formatted and fall within acceptable ranges.
  Review Data Structure: Confirm that the data structure matches the expected format for time-dependent data. This may involve checking field names, data types, and any required fields.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to the data transfer process. Ensure that the system is set up to handle time-dependent data correctly.
  Data Validation: Perform data validation checks to identify any inconsistencies or errors in the data being transferred. Correct any issues found.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on transferring time-dependent data, as there may be additional requirements or best practices to follow.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to data transfer and time-dependent data management, such as LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) or other data migration tools.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or support team for further assistance.
