  Check Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset. If it is indeed in an operational status, consider whether you need to change the asset's status to perform the desired transaction.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. Ensure that the settings allow for the necessary changes to be made while the asset is operational.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific rules and configurations that apply to your system.
  Use Alternative Accounts: If the account you are trying to fill is not allowed, consider using an alternative account that complies with the posting rules for active assets.
