• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/ASSET079 - Enter a sort version ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/ASSET079 Enter a sort version typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when a user is trying to perform an action related to asset management, such as reporting or processing asset data, but has not specified a sort version.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system requires a sort version to determine how to sort and display asset data. A sort version is a predefined set of rules that dictate the order in which asset data is presented. Without this specification, the system cannot proceed with the requested operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to enter a valid sort version. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Identify the Transaction: Determine which transaction or report you are trying to execute when you encounter the error.
  
  
  Enter Sort Version:
  
  If you are in a report or transaction screen, look for a field labeled "Sort Version" or similar.
  Enter a valid sort version code. If you are unsure of what sort version to use, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or refer to your organization's documentation.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you do not have a sort version available, it may need to be configured in the system. This can typically be done in the Asset Accounting configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Master Data > Sort Versions to create or modify sort versions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are still unsure, refer to SAP documentation or your internal guidelines for the specific sort versions that are applicable to your organization.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify sort versions if required.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Sort Versions: These are used in various SAP reports and transactions to control the display order of data. They can be defined based on different criteria such as asset class, location, or other relevant parameters.

  AS01: Create Asset
  AS02: Change Asset
