  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Limits: The system has predefined tolerance limits for payment differences. If the difference between the invoice amount and the payment amount exceeds this limit, the error is triggered.
  Currency Differences: If the payment is in a different currency than the invoice, fluctuations in exchange rates may cause the amount to exceed the tolerance limit.
  Incorrect Payment Amount: The payment amount entered may be incorrect or not aligned with the invoice amount.
  Configuration Issues: The tolerance limits may not be configured correctly in the system settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings:
  
  Check the tolerance limits set in the configuration for the relevant company code. This can be done in the SAP configuration under Financial Accounting (FI) > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Payment Transactions > Define Tolerance Groups for Employees.

  Currency Conversion:

  If the automatic clearing process fails due to this error, consider manually clearing the items involved, ensuring that the amounts are within the tolerance limits.
