  The SAP error message AU146 indicates that a fiscal year change for a specific asset has not been carried out successfully. This error typically arises in the context of asset accounting when there are issues with the fiscal year change process for fixed assets.
  Cause:
  The error message AU146 can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  Incomplete Fiscal Year Change: The fiscal year change process for the asset has not been completed for the specified area.

  Missing Configuration: There may be missing or incorrect configuration settings in the asset accounting module.
  Asset Not Fully Depreciated: The asset may not have been fully depreciated in the previous fiscal year, which can prevent the fiscal year change.
