• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_RAI691 - Items with initial load value '' or 2 not considered in step &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message FARR_RAI691 typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) during the processing of asset transactions, particularly when dealing with initial load values for assets. This error indicates that certain items are not being considered in a specific step of the processing due to their initial load values being either empty ('') or set to 2.
  Cause:
  
  Initial Load Value: The error suggests that the asset items being processed have an initial load value that is either not set (empty) or set to 2. In the context of asset accounting, this could mean that the system is expecting a specific value that indicates the status or type of the asset, and the current value does not meet that expectation.

  Data Integrity: There could be data integrity issues where the asset master data is not correctly populated or has been incorrectly migrated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Master Data: Review the asset master data for the items in question. Ensure that the initial load values are correctly set. If they are empty or incorrectly set to 2, update them to the appropriate values.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that the initial load values are defined correctly. This may involve looking at the settings for asset classes and the associated parameters.
  Data Migration: If this error occurred after a data migration, verify that the migration process correctly populated all necessary fields in the asset master data.
