• Message text: Internal field overflow: first delete overall costs and then save

What causes this issue?

During the update of the change document, the system internally
identifies the difference between the newly entered plan value and the
old plan value. After currency translation from &V2& to &V3&, this
difference exceeds the maximum number of places before the decimal
place (&V1&).

System Response

Transferring the value is not possible.
&WHAT_TO_DO& If the old plan value was already updated, first delete
the old plan value and then save. When you call the transaction again,
the transfer of the plan value is possible. If plan values have not yet
been updated for the year in question, then saving is not necessary.
