Message text: Asset value date &1 is changed to fiscal year start &2
You must use the start of fiscal year &V2& as the asset value date for

transfer transactions to the beginning of fiscal year &V2&.
Check the transaction type. If necessary correct the transaction type
and the asset value date.

The SAP error message AA968 indicates that the asset value date has been changed to the fiscal year start date. This typically occurs when you are trying to post an asset transaction (such as acquisition, transfer, or retirement) that has a value date that is not valid according to the fiscal year settings in the system.
Cause:
- Value Date Issue: The value date you are trying to use for the asset transaction is outside the allowed range for the fiscal year. SAP automatically adjusts it to the start of the fiscal year.
- Fiscal Year Settings: The fiscal year settings in the system may not allow transactions to be posted with value dates that are not aligned with the fiscal year.
- Transaction Type: Certain asset transactions may have restrictions on the value dates that can be used.
Solution:
- Check Value Date: Review the value date you are trying to use for the asset transaction. Ensure that it falls within the allowed range for the fiscal year.
- Adjust Transaction Date: If the value date is incorrect, adjust it to a valid date within the fiscal year.
- Review Fiscal Year Settings: Check the fiscal year settings in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) configuration to ensure they are set up correctly.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines on asset transactions and fiscal year settings.
- Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like AS01 (Create Asset), AS02 (Change Asset), or AS03 (Display Asset) to review and adjust asset details.

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.
