Hello Melody

The error AAPO183 arises when the receiving asset does not contain a

unit of measure for the quantity . Please ensure that you have defined

a unit of measure (MEINS). For your case, you can go to AS02 and change

your asset to have a unit of measure (the field beside quantity)

Please also see note 44944 which explains this.

Other related errors to understand the theory behind are AAPO181 and AAPO168. You have take into account if the asset does have in the "asset master record

a "unit of measure" indicated or not.

If you display the asset master, in trx. AS03 and you can see a

"unit of measure", then this asset is supposed to be posted by

quantities...

In this case, if you try to post an acquisition for this asset,

without indicating quantity, then you get the WARNING message

AAPO168 (Enter quantity in &2 asset &1 has quantity update)

Why is a warning? Cause it is just a reminder that this asset can

be posted with quantities. Not an error, cause quantity can be

manually updated in the asset by trx. AS02.

Now the error AAPO181 (Enter both quantity and unit of measure). This error comes from the relation between "quantity" and "unit of measure" in the posting, not in the asset master.

So if we go to ABZON, and indicate and unit of measure without

indicating quantity, you get the ERROR message AAPO181.

Why an error? Cause you are indicating to the system that an

unit of measure is involved, so it is not logic to have quantity

zero then.

I hope this helps you.

Are you trying to enter quantity along to other data in ABZON? First is that you need to check in asset master record does this asset manages quantity, it should have unit of measure on general screen. If field does not apear on the screen, and you require quantitnies, you need to change Field group rules in SPRO - Asset accounting - Master data - Screen layout - Define screen layout for asset master data.

And don't forget to maintain field status variant of GL account to enable entry of quantities
