How To Fix F0258 - Payment amount was too large for the following payments

F0258 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F0 - FI batch program messages

• Message number: 258

• Message text: Payment amount was too large for the following payments

What causes this issue?

Converting the numbers of the payment amount into words is possible in
the form if you use symbols <(>&SPELL-DIGnn&<)>. Depending on what the
form looks like, only the valid numbers are entered (for example, one
to one hundred thousand, that is <(>&SPELL-DIG01&<)> to
<(>&SPELL-DIG06&<)>).

System Response

If a larger amount is to be converted, then the system determines that
the accompanying symbol is missing. The amount for this payment is not
converted into words.

How to fix this error?

Enter the amount in words onto the payment medium by hand. If this
situation often occurs, than it is advisable to use a different form or
a different payment method or to print a different area (for example,
one thousand to one hundred million), as long as this is accepted by
the banks.
