  The SAP error message FUCN_UI017 ("Either G/L account entry or asset entry is allowed") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with asset accounting or general ledger (G/L) postings. This error indicates that the system expects either a G/L account entry or an asset entry, but not both at the same time.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Entries: The error usually arises when a transaction attempts to post both a G/L account and an asset account in the same line item. SAP requires that you choose one or the other for a specific transaction.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the asset accounting or general ledger that are not aligned with the transaction being processed.

  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting (AA) module and General Ledger (FI) to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking the account determination settings.
  Use Correct Transaction Codes: Ensure you are using the correct transaction codes for the type of posting you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to post an asset acquisition, use the appropriate transaction code that supports asset entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the transaction you are attempting to execute. This can provide insights into the expected input and any restrictions.
