How To Fix KD577 - Down payments settled completely to fixed asset &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 577

• Message text: Down payments settled completely to fixed asset &

What causes this issue?

Down payments cannot be distributed using distribution rules, as the
allocation of the down payments can lead to unforeseeable rounding
differences.
The system therefore always settles down payments 100% to the fixed
asset, which you entered in the first distribution rule with a fixed
asset as a receiver.

How to fix this error?

Check the posting rules and settle only to a fixed asset under
construction.

  Solution:
  
  Check Asset Status: Verify the status of the asset in question. If the asset has been fully capitalized and all down payments have been settled, you may not be able to post further down payments.
  Review Down Payment Transactions: Look at the down payment transactions related to the asset. Ensure that there are no pending down payments that need to be settled.
  Adjust Posting: If you need to make adjustments, consider whether you need to reverse or adjust previous postings rather than trying to post new down payments.
