• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_AR280 - Amount &1 exceeds the threshold value ?

  The SAP error message FDM_AR280, which states "Amount &1 exceeds the threshold value," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly in accounts receivable or during the processing of payments.

  Request Increase in Threshold: If the transaction amount is legitimate and needs to exceed the threshold, you may need to request an increase in the threshold limit from your SAP administrator or relevant authority.
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to process transactions above the threshold. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
