  The SAP error message 9P017 indicates that there is an issue with an invoice item that has already been cleared, meaning it has been settled or paid, and therefore cannot be processed again in the current transaction. This typically occurs during invoice processing, payment processing, or when trying to reverse or adjust an invoice.
  Cause:
  
  Cleared Item: The specific item in the invoice has already been cleared, which means it has been fully paid or settled in a previous transaction.

  Solution:
  
  Check Invoice Status: Verify the status of the invoice and the specific item. You can do this by checking the document flow or the accounting document associated with the invoice.
  Review Payment History: Look into the payment history to confirm that the item has indeed been cleared. This can be done through transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display).
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If you are using a report or transaction that allows for selection criteria, ensure that you are not including cleared items in your selection. Modify the selection parameters to exclude cleared items.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the status of the invoice or the item, consult with your finance or accounting team for clarification.
