AU017 - Details

• The SAP error message AU017 indicates that a specific area in an asset class is not active. This error typically occurs when you are trying to post an asset transaction (like acquisition, transfer, or retirement) for an asset that is assigned to an area that has not been activated in the asset class configuration.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Area: The area specified in the error message is not active for the asset class you are working with. Each asset class can have multiple areas (like book value, tax value, etc.), and if one of these areas is not activated, you will encounter this error.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the asset class may not have been set up correctly, leading to certain areas being inactive.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction you are trying to perform may require a specific area to be active, which is not the case here.
