• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UAS143 - Type &1 with metatype &2 is not available ?

  The SAP error message UAS143 indicates that a specific type of object (Type &1) with a given metatype (&2) is not available in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or similar modules where certain asset types or metadata are expected to be present but are missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The specified type or metatype may not have been configured in the system. This could happen if the necessary settings were not completed during the implementation or if they were inadvertently deleted or modified.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the relevant tables that define the asset types or metatypes.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified type or metatype, leading to the error.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in missing objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAOA or similar) and verify that the asset type and metatype are correctly defined.
  Ensure that all necessary settings for the asset type are in place.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Check the relevant tables (e.g., TABA, TABA_T) to see if the asset type and metatype exist. You can use transaction SE11 to view the table contents.
  If they are missing, you may need to create them or restore them from a backup.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user encountering the error has the necessary authorizations to access the asset type and metatype. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Transport Review:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully transported.
  If there were issues, you may need to re-transport the missing objects.
