This error indicates that the remaining value for a partial surrender of a financial product (like an insurance policy or investment) is negative, which is not permissible.
  Cause:

  Review the Transaction: Check the details of the transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that the amount being surrendered does not exceed the available value of the policy or investment.
  
  
  Check Policy Values: Verify the current values of the policy or investment. Ensure that the values are correctly updated in the system and reflect the actual situation.
  
  
  Adjust the Surrender Amount: If the surrender amount is indeed greater than the remaining value, adjust the amount to a permissible level.
  
  
  Data Validation: Perform a data validation check to ensure that all relevant data is accurate and up-to-date. This may involve checking related transactions, valuations, and configurations.
