How To Fix FKKORDER214 - Asset &1 still does not have a capitalization date

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FKKORDER - Messages for Request

• Message number: 214

• Message text: Asset &1 still does not have a capitalization date

What causes this issue?

If an asset does not have a capitalization date yet, this field is
automatically set from the asset value date of the first acquisition
posting, when the document is transferred to the general ledger. If,
immediately following that, you enter another posting retroactively in a
previous fiscal year, the capitalization date is retained, and the
posting is inconsistent.

System Response

The system rejects the posting to the asset.

How to fix this error?

In the asset master record, enter a capitalization date that is in the
fiscal year, in which the earliest acquisition posting was made.
If you can ensure, using manual methods outside of the system, that the
first acquisition posting to an asset is in the fiscal year in which the
asset is to be capitalized, you can change the message in Customizing to
a warning, or you can switch it off completely.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The system then nonetheless prevents posting to an asset, if another
posting exists with an asset value date in a different fiscal year and
the posting was not yet transferred to the general ledger.
