Symptom
- When using the API API_FIXEDASSETACQUISITION_G4BA to update fixed asset data, the Quantity field is not visible or not available for input.
- The Quantity field in the fixed asset master data cannot be updated directly via the Manage Fixed Assets app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to provide or adjust the Quantity value in the request.
- Observe that the Quantity field is not available/open for input.
Cause
The Quantity field in the fixed asset master data is not directly editable through the Manage Fixed Assets app or as a standalone master data field update. The quantity is managed through asset acquisition postings, not through direct master data maintenance.
Resolution
To update the Quantity of a fixed asset, use the following approach:
- Use the Post Asset Acquisition — And Quantity Adjustment app (instead of Manage Fixed Assets) to post an acquisition with a quantity adjustment.
- For API-based updates, use API_FIXEDASSETACQUISITION_G4BA, which supports quantity updates as part of the asset acquisition posting. The
QuantityandBaseUnitOfMeasurefields must be passed in the acquisition payload (not as a standalone master data update).
