  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for overdraft interest in the SAP system. Ensure that the trivial amount is set appropriately and that the interest calculation parameters are correct.
  Adjust Transaction Data: Review the transaction data that triggered the error. Ensure that the account balances, interest rates, and other relevant data are accurate and complete.
  Increase Trivial Amount: If appropriate, consider increasing the trivial amount threshold in the configuration to allow for smaller overdraft interest amounts to be processed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling overdraft interest calculations and error messages.
