Hi, check your mov type-about transaction of current/previous year

Hi Nike,

There may be many reasons for this error, possibly you need to check APC values of affacted asset. Also error appears sometime when acquisition taken place in last year and transaction type for transfer being used is for currect year acquistion or vice versa. Please check SAP Note 1244787 - AA617 when partial retirement or transfer or credit memo. Here is the detail of this note as under:

Symptom

You are getting error AA617 when posting a partial retirement or transfer or a credit memo

Solution

Please check the APC values of the affected asset.

Please consider that APC values are distinguished between prior year postings and current year postings.

If an asset only consists of APC from prior years and in the following year you want to post a credit memo, a partial retirement or a partial transfer, then you have to use a transaction type that is customized referring to prior-year acquisitions. Else error AA617 will be received.

An example:

AW01N:

APC posting in fiscal year 2008:

01.01.2008 10.000,00 TTYPE 100 External asset acquisition EUR

FY 2008 Fiscal year start Change Year-end Crcy APC transactions 10.000,00 10.000,00 EUR

Acquisition value 10.000,00 10.000,00 EUR

Ord.depreciation 2.000,00- 2.000,00- EUR

Net book value 8.000,00 8.000,00 EUR

Post a Credit Memo via ABZON in fiscal year 2009 using Transaction Type 105 (Credit memo in acquis. year):

Document Date 17.09.2009

Posting Date 17.09.2009

Asset Value Date 17.09.2009

Amount posted 100,00

System raises error message AA617: Acquisition value negative in area 01.

The solution is to use a transaction type referring to prior-year acquisitions.

Hope this helps!!!
