  The SAP error message "5F617 Withdrawal amount is the same as the amount available" typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with withdrawals from accounts or funds. This error indicates that the amount you are trying to withdraw is equal to the total amount available, which may not be allowed based on the system's configuration or business rules.
  Cause:
  
  Exact Withdrawal Amount: The withdrawal amount you are trying to process is exactly equal to the available balance. This can trigger a validation rule in SAP that prevents such transactions.
