• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_MD036 - CoCd &1, segment &2: Status 'In Preparation', no data transfer possible ?

  The SAP error message FAA_MD036 typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there is an attempt to transfer data for an asset that is in a status of "In Preparation." This status indicates that the asset is not yet fully set up or activated for processing, which prevents any data transfer related to it.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Status: The asset is in the "In Preparation" status, meaning it has not been fully configured or activated.
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data required for the asset to be fully operational.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the asset or the asset class that prevent it from being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset in question. You can do this by navigating to the Asset Master Record (transaction code AS03) and checking the status field.
  Complete Asset Setup: If the asset is indeed in "In Preparation," you will need to complete the setup. This may involve:
  
  Filling in any missing fields in the asset master record.
  Ensuring that all necessary data (e.g., acquisition data, depreciation areas) is entered.
  
  
  Change Status: If the asset is ready for processing, you may need to change its status to "Active" or another appropriate status. This can typically be done through the asset master record transaction (AS02).
  Review Configuration: If you suspect configuration issues, review the asset class settings and ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for data transfer.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps related to your version of SAP, as the process may vary slightly.
