Hi Manoj,

Thanks for mentioning on this note 1628542. According to this explanation the sequence of check by system was correct as we had Internal Order defaulted for APC value postings along with Investment Orders in ACSET (Assignment of Account Assignment Objects for APC and depreciation postings). Now we have removed the Internal order assignment in ACSET and the error is not coming during assignment of a different cost center in the Asset Master Data.

But there is a different problem error now when we are progressing and doing the goods receipt for the Asset purchase.

The error now is AAPO189. I also found this note 684659 and the option given out here did not work.

Hi Suman,

Please check answer from the link below.

There is an agreement indicator for account assignment object cost center which you may want to check.

Hi Manoj,

I found this link before. But if I check the Agreement indicator the behaviour is exactly opposite to what our client needs here. Switching the Agreement Indicator removes the error message for sure and we can successfully post the goods receipt but the profit center in the investment order is used for posting by passing the profit center in the asset master.
