• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_CFG_PARALLEL_VAL002 - Need to differentiate at level of account assignment ?

  The SAP error message FAA_CFG_PARALLEL_VAL002 indicates that there is a need to differentiate at the level of account assignment in the context of parallel valuation in Asset Accounting (FI-AA). This typically occurs when you are trying to post transactions that involve multiple valuation areas or accounting principles, and the system requires that the account assignments be clearly defined for each valuation area.
  Cause:
  
  Parallel Valuation Configuration: The error usually arises when the configuration for parallel valuation is not set up correctly. This can happen if the system is unable to determine how to differentiate between the various account assignments for different valuation areas.
  Missing Account Assignment: If the account assignment (like cost center, internal order, etc.) is not specified or is ambiguous, the system cannot process the transaction.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to asset master records or transaction data that prevent the system from determining the correct account assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for parallel valuation in Asset Accounting. Ensure that the valuation areas and account assignments are correctly defined.
  
  Go to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Asset Accounting ? Valuation ? Define Valuation Areas.
  Ensure that the settings for account assignments are properly configured for each valuation area.

  Transaction Data: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the transaction data to ensure that all required fields are populated and that there are no missing or incorrect values.
  
  
  Test Posting: After making the necessary adjustments, try to post the transaction again to see if the error persists.
