• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_MD058 - You cannot enter an asset subnumber in asset class & to create a subno. ?

  The SAP error message FAA_MD058 indicates that you are trying to enter an asset subnumber for an asset class that does not allow subnumbers. This typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to create or modify an asset and specify a subnumber for an asset class that is configured not to support subnumbers.
  Cause:
  
  Asset Class Configuration: The asset class you are working with is configured in such a way that it does not allow the use of asset subnumbers. This is defined in the asset class settings in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Data Entry: You may have mistakenly entered a subnumber when it is not required or allowed for the selected asset class.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Class Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OAOA (or navigate through the menu: Accounting > Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Master Data > Asset > Create/Change).
  Look for the asset class in question and check its settings. Specifically, look for the option that allows or disallows subnumbers.
  If the asset class is not supposed to have subnumbers, you should not enter a subnumber when creating or modifying the asset.
  
  
  
  Remove Subnumber:
  
  If you are trying to create or modify an asset, simply remove the subnumber field or leave it blank when working with the asset class that does not support subnumbers.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing it, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP administrator or functional consultant for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Asset Classes: Asset classes in SAP define the characteristics of assets, including depreciation methods, account assignments, and whether subnumbers are allowed.
  Subnumbers: Subnumbers are used to differentiate between multiple items under a single asset. They are useful for tracking components or parts of an asset.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) for managing asset data.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the asset class should allow subnumbers but is not functioning as expected, it may be necessary to involve your SAP support team to investigate further.
