  The SAP error message 0742 ("New split amount &1 is not permitted") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with document splitting in the General Ledger (G/L) accounting. This error indicates that the amount being split does not comply with the defined rules or constraints in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Split Amount: The amount being assigned to a split is either too high or too low compared to the original amount or does not meet the criteria set in the configuration.
  Configuration Issues: The document splitting settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module may not be correctly configured, leading to inconsistencies in how amounts can be split.
  Currency Issues: If the transaction involves multiple currencies, there may be discrepancies in currency conversion or rounding that lead to invalid split amounts.
  Account Assignment Issues: The account or cost center to which the amount is being split may have restrictions or rules that prevent the split from being valid.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the Split Amount: Verify the amount being split and ensure it is within the permissible limits defined in the system.
  Review Document Splitting Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for document splitting in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO) and ensure that the rules for splitting amounts are correctly defined.
  Adjust Currency Settings: If the transaction involves multiple currencies, ensure that the currency conversion rates are correct and that rounding rules are appropriately set.
  Validate Account Assignments: Check the account assignments (e.g., cost centers, profit centers) to ensure they are valid and do not have restrictions that would prevent the split.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on configuration settings.
