AA834 encountered during settlement KO88

[Former Member]

Hi,

At the time of settlement with investment order via KO88, we are getting the following error.

AA834 "You cannot use this transaction

type to post to this asset".

After investigation, we suspect that this might be due to downpayment we've just made to PO that belongs to the order.

In our business process, these are POs assigned with insvestment orders which end of the month should be settle to AUC asset.

Appreciate if someone could enlighten me what has gone wrong as the down payment is made against the PO and we do not want to capitalise down payment to AUC. However, system check for these down payment since during order settlement. This has jeopordised our month end process.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Hi Firefly,

If I understand the situation correctly, you have an investment order hence the Internal order and the AUC is linked and the settlement happens automatically to the AUC on executing KO88.

As per SAP standard flow, the downpayments posted will get capitalised to AUC on settlement and the error message cannot be controlled. I can suggest 2 way out -

1 - If the Internal order has not been posted before, delete the investment profile and make it a normal overhead internal order. Settle the the Internal Order manually by excluding the downpayment amount.

2 - Do the following configuration and capitalise the downpayment -

In OAYB, select transaction type 15 and enter the asset class of the AUC to which the settlement is to be made.

We had gone with the 2nd option and addition in AO90, we gave a different GL account in "Acquisition: down payments" than the one given in "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs". This helps us to monitor and segregate the downpayment amounts capitalised and also ensure that it is cleared when F-54 is done.

Hope this clarifies the issue you are facing.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Anit,

Thanks for prompt reply. We've implemented the second option and the issue has been resolved.

On top of this, is there a way to display down payment posted to an order?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in reply. I could not find a report that showed downpayment posted to the order as all the reports are based on cost element and down payment entry does not have a cost element.

However, it is available in the asset explorer and it should be possible to view the same using a customized report.

Thanks and Regards,

hi

check the order is in release status and also an AUC asset is available in the settlement rule.if not create an AUC asset and link the same in the setttlement rule with FXA type.

also check in OAYB transaction downpayment settings.
