  The SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES044 indicates that you are trying to change the final results of a process that has already been executed. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Financial Workflow or similar processes where results are finalized after execution.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to modify the final results of a process (like a financial transaction or workflow) that has already been completed and finalized.

  Consulting with your SAP administrator or support team to understand the correct procedure for your specific scenario.
  
  
  
  Create a New Entry: If reopening the process is not possible, consider creating a new entry or transaction that reflects the necessary changes instead of modifying the finalized one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or help files for your specific module to understand the implications of changing finalized results and the correct procedures to follow.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if the issue persists, reach out to your SAP support team or consult SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
