What causes this issue?

Several different result objects of the CO-PA are posted in your
document. You have also specified in your settings that any exchange
rate difference or cash discount clearing items that may occur in
relation to the result object during the payment process should be
split.

System Response

In this case, the document split cannot be carried out because it can
otherwise lead to an overflow of the FI line number during the payment
process and then the payment cannot be posted.

How to fix this error?

Splitting the exchange rate difference or cash discount clearing items
in terms of the result object must be deactivated to be able to carry
out the document split. If you are unable to deactivate this setting
because splitting these items is necessary for your operational
processes, you cannot use the document split for incoming and outgoing
invoices.
