The SAP error message AA683 typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you attempt to post an asset transaction (such as acquisition, transfer, or retirement) outside of the allowed posting periods defined in the system. The message indicates that the posting period you are trying to use is either closed or not open for posting according to the defined posting cycle.
Cause:
- Closed Posting Period: The posting period you are trying to use for the asset transaction is closed in the system.
- Incorrect Posting Period: The system is configured to allow postings only in certain periods, and the period you are trying to post to does not fall within that range.
- Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the posting periods in Asset Accounting may not align with the intended posting cycles.
Solution:
Check Posting Periods:
- Go to the transaction code OB52 to check the open and closed posting periods for the relevant company code and fiscal year.
- Ensure that the period you are trying to post to is open.
Adjust Posting Periods:
- If the period is closed and you need to post to it, you can open the period in transaction OB52. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may affect financial reporting and compliance.
Use the Correct Period:
- If the period you are trying to post to is not allowed, consider posting to the next open period instead.
Review Configuration:
- Check the configuration settings for the posting periods in Asset Accounting. This can be done in the configuration menu under Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Periodic Processing > Define Posting Periods.
Consult with Finance Team:
- If you are unsure about changing posting periods or if it impacts financial reporting, consult with your finance or accounting team for guidance.

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.
