How To Fix ISSR_TP706 - Identifier for field & (asset category &) could not be selected

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ISSR_TP - Message Class for Statutory Reporting

• Message number: 706

• Message text: Identifier for field & (asset category &) could not be selected

What causes this issue?

Either the indirect combination of <DS:DE.ISSR_RANTYP>SR asset category
</> &V2& and required identifier does not correspond to the Customizing
settings (and is therefore meaningless) or the indirect assignment of SR
asset category &V2& to the required identifier has not yet taken place.
The indirect assignment of SR asset category and the required identifier
means the following: SR product categories and statutory reporting
identifiers are assigned to each other in Customizing using relationship
tables; in addition, SR asset categories and SR product categories are
assigned to each other in system table <NP>ISSR_IFB_PCPTRT</>. Based on
this indirect relationship between SR asset category and identifier, the
system checks whether the combination of SR identifier and SR asset
category entered in the selection screen is meaningful before selecting
assets that are relevant for transfer posting.
The indirect assignment of SR asset category to the required identifier
takes place automatically during master data migration or asset category
transfer posting (<ZK>Change Identifiers/Transfer Posting</>
application, transaction <LB>ISSR_DSUMB</>) based on the combinations of
SR asset category (contract type), <DS:DE.ISSR_PRODUCT_CATEGORY>SR
product category</>, and <DS:DE.ISSR_PRODUCT_TYPE>SR product type</>.
The system saves this combination automatically in system table <NP>
ISSR_IFB_PCPTRT</> during master data migration and asset category
transfer posting. You can view this table in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.ISSR_V_IFBPCPTRT>Combine SR Product Category, SR Product Type,
and SR Asset Category</>.

System Response

The system cannot determine any values for input field &V1& for SR asset
category (contract type) &V2& using input help.

How to fix this error?

To ensure that the values for input field &V1& are available the next
time asset category transfer posting is started, proceed as follows:
Enter the required identifier manually or select the contract that
contains the identifier using input help for the <LS>Contract Number</>
field.
Start the selection of modifiable positions.
If the program finds a statutory reporting data record in statutory
reporting data table <NP>ISSR_RPI_MFT</> that satisfies the selection
criteria, an entry is made automatically in table <NP>ISSR_IFB_PCPTRT</>
. The entry is also made if the system cannot determine any modifiable
position in the statutory reporting identifier for the selected validity
date and selected statutory reporting data records.

Procedure for System Administrators

You can also make this entry manually in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.ISSR_V_IFBPCPTRT>Combine SR Product Category, SR Product Type,
and SR Asset Category</>. However, this represents a modification whose
maintenance is the responsibility of the customer.

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