  Unlock Items: If the items are locked, identify the process or transaction that is holding the lock. You may need to wait for the transaction to complete or, if necessary, unlock the items using transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or consult with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the settings for asset classes and statuses.
