  The SAP error message EMV146, which states "Move-out document &1 is not part of a contract change," typically occurs in the context of contract management and move-out processes in SAP IS-U (Industry Solution for Utilities). This error indicates that the move-out document you are trying to process is not linked to a valid contract change, which is necessary for the operation you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Contract Change: The move-out document may not be associated with a contract change. In SAP, a move-out document should be linked to a contract change to ensure that the changes in the contract are properly reflected in the billing and service management processes.
  Incorrect Document Status: The status of the move-out document may not allow it to be processed. For example, it might be in a status that does not permit further actions.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the contract or the move-out document, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Change: Verify if there is a valid contract change associated with the move-out document. You can do this by checking the contract history and ensuring that the move-out document is linked to a corresponding contract change.
  Create a Contract Change: If there is no contract change, you may need to create one. This can typically be done through the contract management transaction in SAP.
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the move-out document. If it is in a status that does not allow processing, you may need to change its status or resolve any issues preventing it from being processed.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the relevant data to ensure that all necessary entries are present and correct. This may involve checking the contract, move-out document, and any related billing documents.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling move-out documents and contract changes in your version of SAP.
