• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_FI_AE003 - The item posted to asset does not originate in MM invoice/goods receipt. ?

  The SAP error message GLO_FI_AE003 indicates that an asset posting is being attempted, but the item being posted does not originate from a Materials Management (MM) invoice or goods receipt. This error typically arises in the context of asset accounting when there is an attempt to post an asset acquisition that is not linked to a valid MM transaction.
  Causes:
  
  Direct Asset Posting: The asset may be directly posted without a corresponding MM transaction, which is not allowed in certain configurations.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type used for the asset posting may not be configured to allow postings from sources other than MM.
  Missing or Incorrect Reference: The asset acquisition may not have a proper reference to an MM document, such as an invoice or goods receipt.
  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not allow for certain types of asset postings without a corresponding MM transaction.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check the Source of the Asset Posting: Ensure that the asset acquisition is being posted through an MM transaction, such as a purchase order or goods receipt. If it is a direct posting, consider changing the process to include an MM transaction.
  
  
  Use the Correct Document Type: Verify that the document type used for the asset posting is appropriate and configured to allow postings from MM transactions.
  
  
  Review Asset Master Data: Ensure that the asset master data is correctly set up and that the asset is linked to the appropriate MM documents.
  
  
  Post via MM: If the asset acquisition is valid, consider posting it through the MM module first (e.g., by creating a purchase order and then a goods receipt) before attempting to post to asset accounting.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for asset accounting and MM integration to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Error Logs and Documentation: Review any error logs or documentation related to the transaction to gather more context about the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB50 (General Ledger Account Document), F-90 (Asset Acquisition), and MIRO (Invoice Verification) to understand how to properly post transactions.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform asset postings and that the relevant configurations are in place.
