• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA792 - &1: Perform the balance carryforward in Financial Accounting first ?

  The SAP error message AA792 indicates that there is an issue with the balance carryforward process in Financial Accounting (FI) that needs to be resolved before you can proceed with the Asset Accounting (AA) carryforward. This error typically arises when the balance carryforward for the financial year has not been completed in the Financial Accounting module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires that the balance carryforward in Financial Accounting must be completed before any carryforward activities can be performed in Asset Accounting. This is a prerequisite to ensure that all financial data is accurately reflected and that the asset balances are correctly carried forward to the new fiscal year.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
