3543421 - 'Individual material AAA is only assigned to retired fixed assets' Error When Trying to Void Supplier Invoice

Symptom

Unable to void supplier invoice due to error: 'Individual material AAA is only assigned to retired fixed assets'

AAA means the individual material ID.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
  3. Search for supplier invoice ID ABC (ABC means the supplier invoice ID).
  4. Click the Void button.
  5. The error message 'Individual material AAA is only assigned to retired fixed assets' is displayed.

Cause

The issue arises because the individual material contained in the invoice is tied to a Retired fixed asset.

Resolution

The fixed asset needs to be capitalized before performing the voidance of supplier invoice ABC. This can be done by removing the Deactivation Date of the fixed 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 AAA and click Go. 
  4. Fixed Asset ID DEF, which statu Retired, is found (DEF means the fixed asset ID).
  5. Open the asset and click View All.
  6. Under Master Data tab -> Life Cycle subtab, the Deactivation Date is displayed.
  7. Remove the Deactivation Date for all the relevant Set of Books and save the changes: this changes asset's status from Retired to Capitalized.

Now the supplier invoice can be voided.

After the voidance, the Deactivation Date can be entered again in the asset, which will change its Status back to Retired.
