  The SAP error message FAA_POST081 typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when there is an issue with posting transactions related to fixed assets. This error indicates that a quantity entry is not allowed for a specific asset in a particular area, which is not currently posted.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Postable Area: The asset area specified (area &2) may not be set up to allow quantity postings. This can happen if the area is configured for financial reporting only and does not support quantity-based transactions.
  Asset Status: The asset may be in a status that does not allow postings, such as being locked or in a closed fiscal year.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting module that restrict quantity postings for certain asset areas.

  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Area Configuration: Review the configuration of the asset area in transaction code OAOA (Define Asset Classes) or OAYZ (Define Areas). Ensure that the area is set up to allow quantity postings if that is required for your business process.
  Review Asset Status: Check the status of the asset in transaction code AS03 (Display Asset) to ensure it is not locked or in a closed fiscal year. If it is, you may need to unlock it or open the fiscal year for posting.
  Correct Transaction Type: Ensure that the transaction you are trying to post is appropriate for the asset area. If you are trying to post a quantity where it is not allowed, consider using a different transaction type or area.
