  Cause:
  
  Unsaved Changes: You have made changes to an asset class or asset master record but have not saved those changes before attempting to change the status.

  Save Changes: Before attempting to change the status of the asset class or asset master record, ensure that you save any changes you have made. You can do this by clicking the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) in the SAP GUI.

  Retry Status Change: Once you have saved the changes, try to change the status again. The error should no longer appear if the previous steps were followed correctly.
