Error message extract from SAP system. Copyright SAP SE.
The SAP error message AA622 ("Backlog positive in area &") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when there is a discrepancy in the asset's backlog. This error indicates that there are pending transactions or postings that have not been processed, which can lead to inconsistencies in the asset's financial data.
Cause:
- Pending Transactions: There may be unprocessed transactions related to the asset, such as acquisitions, retirements, or adjustments that have not been fully executed.
- Incorrect Configuration: The asset may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to issues with how transactions are recorded.
- Posting Period Issues: The posting period may be closed, preventing new transactions from being recorded, which can lead to a backlog.
- Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the asset master data or transaction data that need to be resolved.
Solution:
- Check Pending Transactions: Review the asset for any pending transactions that need to be processed. You can do this by checking the asset history or transaction logs.
- Open Posting Periods: Ensure that the relevant posting periods are open. If they are closed, you may need to reopen them to allow for the necessary transactions to be posted.
- Review Asset Configuration: Verify that the asset is configured correctly in the system. Check the asset master data for any discrepancies or missing information.
- Run Asset Accounting Reports: Use standard SAP reports (like S_ALR_87011963 - Asset History Sheet) to identify any discrepancies or issues with the asset.
- Consult with Finance Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your finance or accounting team for further assistance. They may have insights into specific transactions or configurations that need to be addressed.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
