• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AY123 - Asset &1 &2 is a capital investment measure - not an old asset ?

  The SAP error message AY123 indicates that the asset you are trying to process is classified as a capital investment measure rather than an old asset. This typically occurs when you are attempting to perform an operation that is not applicable to capital investment measures, such as certain types of asset transfers or retirements.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Classification: The asset in question is categorized as a capital investment measure (CIM) in the system. CIMs are typically used for projects or investments that are not yet completed or are in the process of being capitalized.
  Incorrect Transaction: You may be trying to execute a transaction that is meant for fully capitalized assets, such as retirement or transfer, which is not applicable to capital investment measures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset in question. If it is indeed a capital investment measure, ensure that you are using the correct transaction for CIMs.
  Complete the Investment Measure: If the asset is a capital investment measure that should be capitalized, complete the necessary steps to finalize the investment. This may involve completing the project or investment and then capitalizing it into a fixed asset.
  Use Appropriate Transactions: Ensure that you are using the correct SAP transactions for capital investment measures. For example, use transactions like CJ20N (Project Builder) to manage investment measures and ABZON (Transfer within Company Code) for transferring assets.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines for handling capital investment measures to ensure compliance with internal processes.
