AA590 - Overview

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: AA - Messages for Asset Accounting

  • Message number: 590

  • Message text: Choose the transaction type appropriate for the existing asset values

  • Show details Hide details

  • What causes this issue?

    You are trying to enter a transaction on a fixed asset.
    However, the transaction type entered for this fixed asset is <ZH>not</>
    allowed due to the existing fixed asset values. For example, you want
    to enter manual depreciation but the value type to be posted (prior-year
    acquisitions or current-year acquisitions) does <ZH>not</> exist on the
    fixed asset or the amount is <ZH>not</> sufficient.

    System Response

    The system rejects the posting of the transaction.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the fixed asset values already posted. Use a transaction type for
    current-year acquisitions or prior-year acquisitions that matches the
    existing fixed asset values.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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

    &EXAMPLES&
    Example 1:
    There are only fixed asset values for current-year acquisitions on a
    fixed asset. You want to enter manual depreciation and use the
    transaction type that is intended for prior-year acquisitions for this.
    The system does not permit this. Use a transaction type for current-year
    acquisitions instead.
    Example 2:
    Fixed asset values for prior-year acquisitions and current-year
    acquisitions exist on a fixed asset. You want to enter manual deprec
    iation and use the transaction type that is intended for prior-year
    acquisitions for this.
    The system does not permit this as the amount for manual depreciation
    with that transaction type would exceed the existing amount of the
    prior-year acquisitions.

AA590 - Details

  • Error Code: AA590

    Error Message: Choose the transaction type appropriate for the existing asset values


    Summary

    This error occurs when the transaction type selected for an asset transaction does not match the current values or status of the asset. Essentially, the system expects a transaction type that aligns with the asset's existing data, and the chosen one is incompatible.


    Root Causes

    • User selects a transaction type that is not valid for the asset's current status or value (e.g., trying to retire an asset that has no value).
    • Incorrect or incomplete asset master data leading to mismatches between asset values and allowed transaction types.
    • Configuration issues where certain transaction types are restricted or not properly assigned to asset classes or company codes.
    • Attempting to post a transaction type that requires specific asset values or conditions that are not met (e.g., posting a transfer without existing acquisition value).
