• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAA_POST206 - &1: Transaction is before the legacy data transfer ?

  The SAP error message FAA_POST206 indicates that a transaction is being processed that is dated before the legacy data transfer has been completed. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to post a transaction (like an acquisition or a transfer) for an asset that has not yet been included in the legacy data transfer.
