How To Fix FF837 - The combination of large amounts and taxes is not allowed

FF837 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FF - FI Function Module Messages

• Message number: 837

• Message text: The combination of large amounts and taxes is not allowed

What causes this issue?

It is not allowed to enter large amounts together with taxes. In split
documents, there are not only line-by-line checks, but checks across all
lines. This prevents the entry of a large amount as soon as the document
contains a tax indicator in any line. Vice versa, the entry of a tax
indicator is prevented if the document already contains a large amount
in any line.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Correct the entry. Either change the amount or delete the tax indicator.
For transactions that do not allow changes to the tax indicator, you
must select another business transaction that enables entry without
taxes.
