The SAP error message
/ATL/ASSET185
typically occurs in the context of asset accounting when a user attempts to execute a transaction related to asset management without specifying a period or selecting the option to include all transactions. This error is common when users are trying to run reports or perform actions that require a specific time frame for asset transactions.Cause:
The error is triggered because the system requires a specific period to be defined for the transaction or report you are trying to execute. If no period is specified, or if the "All Transactions" option is not selected, the system cannot process the request, leading to this error message.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
Specify a Period: When prompted, enter a valid period (start and end dates) for the transactions you want to include in your report or action. Ensure that the period is within the fiscal year and is valid according to your company's financial calendar.
Select All Transactions: If you want to include all transactions without specifying a period, look for an option labeled "All Transactions" or similar in the selection screen and select it. This will allow the system to process the request without needing a specific date range.
Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the asset accounting transactions for the specified period.
Review Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be worth checking the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for additional context on the specific transaction you are trying to execute, as there may be additional requirements or settings that need to be adjusted.

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.
