• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOS03117 - Condition Value is too big ?

  The SAP error message BOS03117, which states "Condition Value is too big," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when working with the pricing procedure in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM). This error indicates that the value being processed for a pricing condition exceeds the allowed limit set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Exceeding Value Limits: The condition value being calculated or entered exceeds the maximum limit defined in the system settings. This can happen if:
  
  The pricing condition is set to allow only a certain range of values.
  The calculation of the condition value results in a number that is too large for the field defined in the database.
  
  
  
  Data Type Limitations: The data type used for storing the condition value may have a maximum size that is being exceeded. For example, if the condition value is stored as a numeric field with a limited number of digits, any calculation resulting in a larger number will trigger this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the pricing procedure or the condition types, leading to incorrect calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the pricing procedure and the specific condition types involved. Ensure that the settings are appropriate for the expected values. This includes:
  
  Validating the maximum allowed values for the condition types.
  Adjusting the configuration if necessary to accommodate larger values.
  
  
  
  Review Condition Records: Check the condition records for the relevant pricing conditions. Ensure that the values entered are within acceptable limits.
  
  
  Data Type Adjustment: If the issue is related to data type limitations, consider adjusting the data type or field length in the database if feasible. This may require development work and should be done with caution.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider using the SAP debugger to trace the calculation of the condition value. This can help identify where the value is being incorrectly calculated or where it exceeds the limit.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to pricing conditions and the specific error message for additional guidance.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue cannot be resolved through configuration or debugging, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional insights.
