How To Fix BK114 - The amount entered is larger than the amount to be reposted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BK - Create, Display, Reverse Controlling Document

• Message number: 114

• Message text: The amount entered is larger than the amount to be reposted

What causes this issue?

You entered an amount to be reposted that is larger than the remaining
amount still to be reposted from reference item &V1&.

System Response

A reference item is the same as one of the line items that you selected
for reposting. This can only be reposted in full. This means that the
total amouts of all the document items entered for a line item must be
the same as the amount from the original line item to be posted.
The remaining amount in a reference item is thus the difference between
the total amount of the line item to be reposted and the sum of the
amounts entered so far in all document items for this reference item.
When you first process a document item, the system defaults the
remaining amount to be reposted from the associated reference item.
You can overwrite this value, but the new value must not exceed the
default value.

How to fix this error?

Correct the value entered so that it does not exceed the remaining
amount to be reposted from reference item &v1&.
You can use <ZH>RefItem</> on a document item entered for this
reference item to see the remaining amount to be reposted for the item.
The posting data for the reference item is displayed in
a modal dialog box.
