• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_POST065 - Asset &1: post-capitalization not possible; no initial acquisition data ?

  The SAP error message FAA_POST065 indicates that there is an issue with posting a capitalization for an asset because there is no initial acquisition data available for that asset. This typically occurs in the context of asset accounting (FI-AA) when trying to post a transaction related to an asset that has not been properly initialized with acquisition data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Initial Acquisition Data: The asset in question has not been assigned any initial acquisition cost. This could happen if the asset was created without any acquisition transaction or if the acquisition data was not properly recorded.
  Incorrect Asset Status: The asset might be in a status that does not allow for capitalization postings.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been errors during the asset creation process, leading to incomplete or missing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Master Data: 
  
  Go to the Asset Master Data (transaction code AS03) and check the asset in question. Ensure that the initial acquisition data is present.
  If the asset was created without acquisition data, you may need to enter the acquisition data using the appropriate transaction (e.g., AS01 for creating an asset or AS02 for changing an asset).
  
  
  
  Post Acquisition Transaction:
  
  If the asset does not have any acquisition data, you can post an acquisition transaction using transaction code ABZON (for acquisition without a purchase order) or ABZP (for acquisition with a purchase order).
  Ensure that the acquisition cost and other relevant details are correctly entered.
  
  
  
  Review Asset Status:
  
  Ensure that the asset is in a status that allows for capitalization. If the asset is in a status that prevents postings, you may need to change its status.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to asset accounting and capitalization processes.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations: 
  
  If your organization has customizations in the asset accounting module, ensure that these are not affecting the posting process.
