  The SAP error message AA245 ("Proportional values not allowed with transaction type &") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you are trying to post a transaction that involves proportional values, but the transaction type you are using does not support them.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are attempting to post a transaction (like an acquisition, transfer, or retirement) using a transaction type that is not configured to allow proportional values.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transaction Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for Asset Accounting (Transaction code: OAOA).

  Ensure that the transaction type is configured to allow proportional values if that is what you intend to post.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Transaction Type:
  
  If the current transaction type does not support proportional values, consider using a different transaction type that does allow for proportional postings.
  
  
  
  Review Posting Data:
  
  Double-check the data you are trying to post. Ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to post proportional values when the transaction type does not support them.
