Summary :
SAP Note indicates that error AA617 arises due to negative acquisition values in fixed assets or assets under construction (AuC), triggered by the posting of credit memos before or in excess of acquisitions. To prevent the error, particularly during the settlement processes of AuC via transactions like KO88 or CJ88, negative values should be allowed in asset settings. This can be configured under Transaction OAYZ by setting the 'Negative values allowed' indicator in the asset class for new fixed assets and adjusting settings in AS02 for existing assets. The solution ensures compliance with financial reporting standards and prevents system errors by aligning credit memo and acquisition values properly.
