• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC186 - Transfer date & is in a closed fiscal year ?

  The SAP error message AC186 indicates that there is an issue with the transfer date being set in a closed fiscal year. This typically occurs when you are trying to post an asset transaction (like an acquisition, transfer, or retirement) with a date that falls within a fiscal year that has already been closed in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Closed Fiscal Year: The fiscal year for the transfer date has been closed, meaning that no further postings can be made for that year.
  Incorrect Date: The date you are trying to use for the asset transaction is not valid because it falls outside the open periods defined in the fiscal year variant.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting module that restrict postings to certain periods.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Transfer Date: Adjust the transfer date to a date that falls within an open fiscal year. You can check the open and closed periods
