The fixed asset supposed to be scrapped does not have any Acquisition and production Costs (APC) related posting due to the cancellation of the Initial Goods and Services Receipt.

As a result even though the status of the fixed asset ABC is Capitalized, the status of the only Individual Material composing the fixed asset or the Individual Material you want to scrap (if the fixed asset ABC is composed of several Individual Materials) is Assigned instead of Acquired.
