The error message states that the company code cannot be initialized for the specified main asset number.
  Cause:
  
  Company Code Initialization: The error usually occurs when the system is trying to initialize a company code for an asset that is already assigned to another company code or when the asset does not exist in the specified company code.

  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like OABN (Reorganize Assets) or OAYD (Delete Asset) to manage assets if necessary.
