1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Source Documents view.
3. Show Unposted Source Documents list, search for the relevant Goods and Services Receipt and error is seen.

The Fixed asset related to Individual material is retired and system blocks any further Goods and Services Receipt postings.

The fixed asset needs to be capitalized before performing any further Goods and Services Receipt postings. This can be done by removing deactivation date of asset.

To identify the fixed asset via the individual material and change status from Retired to Capitalized, below steps can be followed:

1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
2. Go to the Fixed Asset view.
3. Filter for fixed asset with Individual Material ID XYZ and click Go. Here we see asset is Retired.
4. Open the asset and click View All.
5. Under Master Data tab -> Life Cycle subtab, the Deactivation Date is displayed.
6. Remove the Deactivation Date and save the changes, this changes asset's status from Retired to Capitalized.

Now the Goods and Services Receipt can be posted from the Unposted Source Documents List.
