Message text: Balance carryforward not possible due to different open fiscal years
You want to execute the balance carryforward to &V3& for company code
&V1& and ledger &V2&. This affects several depreciation areas in Asset
Accounting. Fiscal year &V3& is open in one of the depreciation areas,
but it is closed in one of the other depreciation areas. The balance
carryforward cannot be performed because of this.
The balance carryforward to &V3& was not executed for company code &V1&
and ledger &V2&.
If the balance carryforward is relevant for Asset Accounting, then
reopen fiscal year &V3& in Asset Accounting for all the affected
depreciation areas.
If the balance carryforward is irrelevant for Asset Accounting, then
close fiscal year &V3& in Asset Accounting.
Then perform the balance carryforward again.

The SAP error message AU273, which states "Balance carryforward not possible due to different open fiscal years," typically occurs during the year-end closing process when attempting to carry forward balances from one fiscal year to the next. This error indicates that there are discrepancies in the fiscal year settings between the periods you are trying to carry forward.
Cause: Different Open Fiscal Years: The error usually arises when the fiscal year settings for the company code or controlling area are not aligned. For example, if one fiscal year is open in one area but closed in another, the system will not allow the carryforward. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of fiscal year variants may not be consistent across different modules or areas (e.g., Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO)). Unfinished Closing Activities: If there are pending closing activities in the previous fiscal year, it can prevent the carryforward process.
