• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AC573 - Asset value date has to be in fiscal year open to posting ?

  The SAP error message AC573 indicates that the asset value date you are trying to use for a transaction is not within a fiscal year that is open for posting. This typically occurs when you attempt to post an asset transaction (like acquisition, transfer, or retirement) with a value date that falls in a closed fiscal year.
  Cause:
