• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_MD106 - After change, capitalization date in ledger &1 will be in another FYear ?

  The SAP error message FAA_MD106 indicates that there is an issue with the capitalization date of an asset in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. Specifically, it occurs when you attempt to change the capitalization date of an asset, and the new date falls into a different fiscal year than the one currently assigned to the asset in the ledger.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Fiscal Year Change: The capitalization date you are trying to set for the asset is in a different fiscal year than the one currently assigned to the asset.
  Period Locking: The fiscal year or period may be locked for posting, preventing changes to the asset's capitalization date.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module that restrict changes to certain fields based on fiscal year.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FAA_MD106 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Capitalization Date: Ensure that the capitalization date you are trying to set is within the same fiscal year as the current asset records. If you need to change the date to a different fiscal year, you may need to follow a different process.
  
  
  Unlock the Period: If the fiscal year or period is locked, you may need to unlock it in the configuration settings. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the transaction code OB52 (Change View "Open and Close Posting Periods").
  Adjusting the settings to allow postings in the required period.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that there are no restrictions on changing the capitalization date. This can be done through the following:
  
  Transaction code SPRO (Customizing).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Master Data > Define Capitalization Date.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the FAA_MD106 error for any specific guidelines or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS02 (Change Asset), AS03 (Display Asset), and OB52 (Change Posting Periods).
