Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Future Position: The error indicates that the system is trying to value a future position (e.g., a project or asset) that has capitalized costs associated with it. Future positions are typically those that are not yet completed or are in a planning phase.
  Capitalized Costs: If there are costs that have been capitalized but the position is not yet ready for valuation (e.g., it is not yet in service), the system will not allow valuation.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting or project system that are not set up correctly, leading to this error.
  Status of the Position: The status of the asset or project may not allow for valuation, such as being in a "planned" or "not yet started" state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Status: Verify the status of the asset or project. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for valuation. If it is still in the planning phase, you may need to wait until it is completed or moved to a different status.
  Review Capitalized Costs: Check the capitalized costs associated with the future position. If there are costs that should not be capitalized yet, consider adjusting them.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or Project System (PS) modules. Ensure that the settings for future positions and capitalized costs are correctly configured.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling future positions and capitalized costs.
  Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like AS03 for asset display or CJ20N for project management) to review the details of the asset or project and make necessary adjustments.
