For Purchasing Document Item AAA-10 and GR/IR Clearing Set XYZ-1 the error shows as:  Individual material  is only assigned to retired fixed assets.

Typically a product has been ordered by Purchasing Document Item AAA-10 and capitalized as Fixed Asset XYZ  by Goods and Service Receipt XYZ-1.

An Individual Material has been associated with Fixed Asset XYZ with status Acquired. 

At the time of executing GR/IR Clearing Run ABC there are open GR/IR Balances for Clearing Set XYZ-1.

Prior to executing GR/IR Clearing ABC the product associated with Fixed Asset XYZ, however, has been sold in a Customer Invoice DEF. This action will retire the Fixed Asset as well as the associated Individual Material. 

The only viable solution in such a scenario would be the cancellation of Customer Invoice DEF. (Merely removing the Deactivation Date in the Fixed Asset Master Data (Life Cycle Data) will not suffice as associated Individual Material will remain in status Retired.)

This will render the status of Fixed Assert XYZ to Capitalized.  Associated Individual Material will again assume status Acquired.

Run a new new GR/IR Clearing for affected PO-Item AAA-10. After that you can retire the FA again by re-issuing the customer invoice.
