  The SAP error message CRM_IC_APPL_UI_FICA323 indicates that there is an attempt to change an amount in a transaction to a value that is less than the amount that has already been paid. This typically occurs in the context of billing or payment processing within the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, particularly when dealing with financial transactions.
