  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for changing the company code. If you are in a simulation mode, exit that mode and try again.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to asset accounting and depreciation to understand the implications of changing company codes.
