How To Fix EB263 - Amount or cons. quantity is too large for posting (ct acct &1,reckey &2)

EB263 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EB - IS-U invoicing

• Message number: 263

• Message text: Amount or cons. quantity is too large for posting (ct acct &1,reckey &2)

What causes this issue?

You want to invoice contract account &v1&. However this is not possible
because either the amount or the consumption quantity is too large to be
posted in contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA).

System Response

When posting in FI-CA, the system maps a totals record for all postings
from a reconciliation key (&v2&). This totals record is subsequently
transferred to FI-CA. However, the amount or consumption quantity of the
current contract account results in the value fields being exceeded. For
this reason, the system terminates the invoicing for the current
contract account.

How to fix this error?

Try to post the contract account under a new reconciliation key
(transaction EA19). If this also leads to a termination or short dump,
you may have to invoice the billing documents from the contract account
individually.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
