• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC394 - Complete the indexing entries ?

  The SAP error message AC394, which states "Complete the indexing entries," typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when there are incomplete or missing entries in the asset index. This can happen during various processes, such as asset creation, transfer, or retirement, where the system expects certain indexing information to be present.
