  The SAP error message /SCA/DM_REL_CRQ015 typically indicates an issue related to the fiscal year change process in the SAP system, particularly concerning the handling of Asset Accounting (AA) and the status of Asset Transfer Notifications (ASNs). This error suggests that there are open ASNs that need to be addressed before the fiscal year change can be completed.
  Cause:
  
  Open ASNs: The primary cause of this error is that there are open Asset Transfer Notifications (ASNs) that have not been processed or cleared. These ASNs may be related to asset transfers that have not been fully executed or have pending transactions.

  Solution:
  
  
  Review Open ASNs: 
  
  Go to the Asset Accounting module and check for any open ASNs. You can use transaction codes like AW01N (Asset Explorer) or AS03 (Display Asset) to review the status of assets and their associated ASNs.
  Identify any ASNs that are still open and determine the reason they are not processed.
  
  
  
  Process or Close ASNs:
  
  If the ASNs are valid and need to be processed, ensure that the necessary transactions are completed.
  If the ASNs are no longer needed, you may need to reverse or delete them, depending on your business processes and policies.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
