• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AK005 - Asset is investment measure, transaction type not allowed ?

  The SAP error message AK005 ("Asset is investment measure, transaction type not allowed") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction on an asset that is classified as an investment measure. Investment measures in SAP are specific types of assets that are used to track investments in projects or capital expenditures, and they have certain restrictions on the types of transactions that can be performed on them.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to execute a transaction (such as posting an acquisition, transfer, or retirement) that is not permitted for investment measures. This can happen if:
  
  You are using an incorrect transaction type that is not allowed for investment measures.
  The asset is in a status that does not permit the transaction you are trying to perform.
  The configuration settings for the asset class or transaction type do not allow the operation you are attempting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AK005 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transaction Type: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction type for the operation you want to perform. Investment measures typically have specific transaction types that are allowed.
  
  
  Review Asset Class Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the asset class associated with the investment measure. Check if the transaction type you are trying to use is allowed for that asset class.
  
  
  Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset. If the asset is in a locked status or if it is not fully capitalized, you may need to change its status or complete any pending transactions before proceeding.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines regarding the handling of investment measures. There may be specific procedures or restrictions in place.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
