  The SAP error message 62337, which states "Do not enter a negative amount," typically occurs when a user attempts to input a negative value in a field that only accepts positive amounts. This error can arise in various contexts, such as during the entry of financial transactions, invoice processing, or when dealing with inventory movements.
  Cause:
