The SAP error message AA614: Low value asset max.amount exceeded. No posting allowed typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when you attempt to post an asset acquisition that exceeds the defined threshold for low-value assets. In SAP, low-value assets are usually defined as assets that have a lower acquisition value and can be expensed in the year of acquisition rather than being capitalized.
Cause:
The error is triggered when:
- The acquisition value of the asset you are trying to post exceeds the maximum limit set for low-value assets in the system.
- The configuration for low-value asset thresholds is not aligned with the asset you are trying to post.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
Check the Low-Value Asset Threshold:
- Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
- Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Asset Valuation > Define Low-Value Asset Thresholds.
- Verify the maximum amount set for low-value assets. If necessary, adjust the threshold to accommodate the asset acquisition value you are trying to post.
Adjust the Asset Acquisition Value:
- If the asset acquisition value is indeed higher than the threshold and should be capitalized, consider adjusting the acquisition value to fall within the low-value asset limit or process it as a regular asset acquisition.
Review Asset Class Settings:
- Check the asset class settings to ensure that the asset class you are using is correctly configured for low-value asset treatment.
- You can do this by navigating to Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Master Data > Asset Classes and reviewing the settings.
Consult with Your Finance Team:
- If you are unsure about the appropriate thresholds or how to handle the asset, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with your organization's accounting policies.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
