2909252 - Fixed Asset Error Message: 'The Action POST is not Possible. Refresh the Screen and Try Again. If the Problem Persists, Report an Incident'

Symptom

You change the Cost Center assignment for a Fixed Asset for a specific start date.

When pressing Save an error message appears: 'The action POST is not possible. Refresh the screen and try again. If the problem persists, report an incident.'

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Fixed assets work center.
  2. Navigate to the Fixed assets view.
  3. Select the Fixed Asset PQR (PQR represents the Fixed asset ID).
  4. Go to the Master data tab and choose the Basic Data sub-tab.
  5. Press Add Row and enter the start date, DD-MM-YYYY (DD-MM-YYYY means start date), maintain the cost center DEF (DEF represents the Cost center ID).
  6. Press Save.

The error message: 'The action POST is not possible. Refresh the screen and try again. If the problem persists, report an incident' is displayed.

Cause

1st Case: The organizational unit DEF is not valid as of the date DD-MM-YYYY.

2nd Case: This issue may also arise if the previously used organizational units have their validity ending one day prior to the transfer date.

To check the validity:

  1. Navigate to the Organizational Management work center.
  2. Select "Edit Org Structures."
  3. Search for the relevant Cost Centers within the Org Structure.
  4. Go to the "Timelines" tab to verify the validity period: "Validity From" to "Validity To."

Resolution

1st Case:

  • Extend the validity period of the organizational unit DEF to facilitate the transfer posting of the Cost Center on DD-MM-YYYY.

  • Alternatively, adjust the start date of the new cost center assignment for the Fixed Asset.

2nd Case:

  • In this scenario, modify the validity of organizational unit DEF to include the day before the transfer date (DD-1).
