  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Your system is being switched to <LS>SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA
    </>. This means only the new Asset Accounting is available to you. You
    have to migrate from the classic Asset Accounting to the new Asset
    Accounting, or complete the migration of Asset Accounting. Only then is
    it possible for you to post in Asset Accounting again.
    The following applies to the Customizing switch:
    In the client, the Customizing switch for new Asset Accounting (<AB>
    PARALLEL_VAL</>) has the status <ZK>In Preparation</>.
    Alternatively, in the client the Customizing switch for new Asset
    Accounting (<AB>PARALLEL_VAL</>) has the status <LS>Active (Posting Not
    Possible in Client)</>. It is <ZH>not</> possible to post in accordance
    with the new logic in the local system. The check displays an error
    during the import (for example, inconsistent data).

    System Response

    As long as the Customizing switch <ZH>does not</> yet have the status
    <ZK>Active</>, it is possible that the configuration could be
    inconsistent. Therefore the system <ZH>does not</> allow any postings.

    How to fix this error?

    First complete the Customizing settings for new Asset Accounting and
    then activate the Customizing switch at client level (in Customizing for
    <LS>Asset Accounting</> under <DS:SIMG.VV_T093BSN_PV02_DC>Activate New
    Asset Accounting</>).
    If your data is consistent, posting is possible. If you do have
    inconsistent data, you can analyze it in Customizing for <LS>Asset
    Accounting</> under <DS:SIMG.FAA_CHECK_ACTIVATION_DC>Check Prerequisites
    for Activating Asset Accounting (New)</>.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
