SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FARR_RAI - Revenue Accounting Item

• Message number: 771

• Message text: Different CO object numbers in predecessor chain (&1/acct.principle &2)

What causes this issue?

Item &v3& is part of a predecessor document chain, that is, it either
refers to a predecessor document or is a predecessor document itself or
both.
Items of a predecessor document chain are aggregated during processing
and therefore must belong to the same CO object number.
The system tried to process one or more items of the predecessor
document chain that has item &v1& as its highest level predecessor
document. Not all of the processed items of this chain belong to the
same CO object number. Therefore, all items that belong to this chain
could not be processed.

System Response

The system cannot process item &v3& for accounting principle &v2&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FARR_RAI771 - Different CO object numbers in predecessor chain (&1/acct.principle &2) ?

  The SAP error message FARR_RAI771 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the CO (Controlling) object numbers in the predecessor chain for a specific asset transaction. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there are inconsistencies in the assignment of cost objects (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) across different transactions related to the same asset.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent CO Object Assignment: The error arises when the system detects that the CO object numbers (like cost centers or internal orders) assigned to the predecessor transactions of an asset are different from the current transaction.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to different CO objects being assigned to related transactions.
  Changes in CO Object: If a CO object was changed or replaced in the system after the initial transaction was recorded, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Incorrect Configuration: Configuration issues in the Asset Accounting module or the Controlling module can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Predecessor Transactions: Check the predecessor transactions for the asset in question. Ensure that all related transactions have consistent CO object assignments.
  Correct CO Object Assignment: If discrepancies are found, correct the CO object assignments in the relevant transactions. This may involve changing the CO object in the asset master record or in the individual transactions.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like AS02 (Change Asset Master) or F-92 (Transfer within Asset Accounting) to make necessary adjustments.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the correct CO object to use, consult with your finance or controlling team to ensure that the correct assignments are made.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting and Controlling modules to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), F-92 (Transfer within Asset Accounting), and F-90 (Acquisition of Asset).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address known issues.
