• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM255 - No addresses passed (table & is empty) ?

  The SAP error message AM255 ("No addresses passed (table & is empty)") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when the system is trying to process asset-related transactions that require address information, but the relevant address table is empty. This can happen during various operations, such as asset master data creation, changes, or during the execution of certain reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Address Data: The most common cause is that the address data for the asset is not maintained in the system. This could be due to the asset not being assigned to a business partner or vendor that has address information.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the address data from being retrieved or displayed correctly.
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the data or if the address data has been deleted or not properly set up, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data: 
  
  Go to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and check if the address information is filled in correctly. If not, you may need to update the asset master data (transaction code AS02) to include the necessary address details.
  
  
  
  Verify Business Partner/Vendor Data:
  
  If the asset is linked to a business partner or vendor, ensure that the address information is correctly maintained in the business partner or vendor master data (transaction codes BP or XK03).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that the address data is being pulled correctly. This may involve reviewing settings related to business partners and address management.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
