• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AU227 - The value in field BALTD-BWCNT is not 0 with AS92. ?

  The SAP error message AU227 indicates that there is an issue with the balance in the field BALTD-BWCNT when trying to execute the transaction AS92 (which is used for asset retirement by scrapping). Specifically, this error occurs when the balance count for the asset is not zero, which means that there are still values or transactions associated with the asset that need to be addressed before you can proceed with the scrapping.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Zero Balance: The primary cause of this error is that the asset you are trying to scrap has a non-zero balance in the specified field. This could be due to:
  
  Unsettled transactions.
  Open depreciation postings.
  Remaining values in the asset that have not been fully depreciated or settled.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Asset Transactions:
  
  Use transaction code AW01N to display the asset and review its transaction history. Look for any open transactions or postings that may be affecting the balance.
  
  
  
  Settle Any Open Transactions:
  
  If there are any unprocessed transactions, you may need to settle them. Use transaction ABZON (for asset acquisition) or ABAVN (for asset retirement) as appropriate to process any pending transactions.
  
  
  
  Review Depreciation:
  
  Ensure that all depreciation has been posted for the asset. You can check this in the asset history sheet or by using transaction AFAB to run the depreciation program.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Documents:
  
  Ensure that there are no related documents (like purchase orders or invoices) that are still open or pending for the asset.
  
  
  
  Adjust Asset Values:
  
  If the asset has a remaining value that needs to be adjusted, consider using transaction ABUMN (for asset transfer) or ABAVN (for asset retirement) to adjust the asset value before scrapping.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the transactions or the implications of settling them, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
