  Transaction codes like SPRO can be used to access the configuration settings.
  
  
  Adjust Limits: If the limit is too low for your business needs, consider adjusting the permissible limit in the configuration settings. Ensure that any changes comply with your organization's financial policies.
  User Authorizations: Verify the user roles and authorizations. If the user needs to process higher amounts, consider updating their authorization profile to allow for larger transactions.
  Consult with Business Users: Engage with the relevant business users or stakeholders to understand the context of the transaction and whether the limit is appropriate or needs to be adjusted.
  Error Handling: If the amount is indeed valid and should be processed, ensure that the necessary approvals or exceptions are in place to allow for the transaction to proceed.
