SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FTI - Treasury Information System

• Message number: 050

• Message text: Operative posting status char. is not filled in the parallel val. area

What causes this issue?

In the <ZH>operational valuation area</>, the drilldown report types
CFM operational/parallel: Related to time period
CFM operational/parallel: Revenue reporting
and the logical databases
FTI_TR_PERIODS
FTI_TR_PL_CF
have the <ZU>'Posting status operational'</> characteristic, with the
following possible values:
<ZK>0 Locked to posting (not security)</>
<ZK>1 Earmarked for posting (not security)</>
<ZK>2 Posting carried out</>
<ZK>3 Flagged for reversal (not security)</>
<ZK>4 Posting reversed (not security)</>
<ZK>5 Planned</>
The <ZU>'Posting status parallel' </> characteristic is always blank.
In the <ZH>parallel valuation areas</> the opposite is true for the
same report types and logical databases:
The <ZU>'Posting status operational'</> indicator is always blank.
The <ZU>'Posting status parallel'</> characteristic has these possible
values:
<ZK>F Posting carried out</>
<ZK>P Planned</>
<ZK>R Reversed</>

System Response

Making a characteristic restriction of one of the above characteristics
has the result that flows of the operational or parallel valuation
areas are excluded from the hit list, and are therefore not displayed.
For example, if you make a global restriction of the 'Posting status
operational' characteristic, to a value other than initial, then you
will not see any flows at all from the parallel books in the display,
since 'Posting status operational' is always initial for parallel
books.
On the other hand, if you globally restrict the 'Posting status
parallel' characteristic to a value other than initial, then you will
not be able to see any flows from the operational valuation area, since
the status for these is always initial.

How to fix this error?

Restrict the drilldown, for time-oriented reports, to only those
statuses that are supported in the given ase. In the form, you also
have the option of entering different limitations in different
different columns.
Example: You want to select only posted flows. Then define two columns
with the following restrictions:
Valuation area = '001', 'Posting status operational' = '2'.
Valuation area = '002', 'Posting status parallel' = 'F'.

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

You can use the <DS:TRAN.TRMS_EXTENDED>Display report types</>

  The SAP error message FTI050 indicates that the operative posting status characteristic is not filled in the parallel valuation area. This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) when dealing with parallel valuation methods, such as IFRS and local GAAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to post a transaction that requires a characteristic (such as a valuation method) to be defined in the parallel valuation area, but it is missing or not properly configured. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Configuration: The necessary settings for the parallel valuation area have not been defined in the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve the FTI050 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (AA) and ensure that the parallel valuation areas are correctly set up.
  Verify that the operative posting status characteristic is defined for the relevant valuation area.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the asset or account involved in the transaction. Ensure that all required fields, including the operative posting status, are filled in for the parallel valuation area.
  You can do this by navigating to the asset master record (transaction code AS03) and reviewing the relevant views.
  
  
  
  Transaction Posting:
  
  If you are trying to post a transaction, ensure that all necessary fields are filled in the posting document. This includes checking the document type and ensuring it aligns with the configuration.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), and AS03 (Display Asset) for managing asset master data.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to FTI050 for any patches or updates that may address known issues.
