  Solution:
  
  Check Data Values: Review the data for the specified customer and material. Look for any unusually large values that may be causing the overflow. Ensure that the data adheres to the expected formats and limits.
  Adjust Field Lengths: If the data is valid but exceeds the current field limits, consider adjusting the field lengths in the database or the relevant data structures to accommodate larger values.
  Data Cleansing: If there are erroneous or invalid entries, cleanse the data to remove or correct these entries before reprocessing.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to pricing and data handling in the SAP system. Ensure that they are set up correctly to handle the expected data sizes.
