• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKXI_MAP008 - Upper limit contains an asterisk (*) ?

  The SAP error message FKKXI_MAP008 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the mapping for the payment plan in the SAP system. Specifically, the error message states that the "Upper limit contains an asterisk (*)". This typically occurs in the context of payment plan mapping in the SAP Convergent Charging or Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) modules.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of an asterisk (*) in the upper limit field of a mapping configuration. In SAP, an asterisk is often used as a wildcard character, and its presence in this context is not valid. The system expects a specific numeric value or a range, and the asterisk disrupts this expectation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the mapping configuration where the error is occurring. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Access the Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction code in SAP (e.g., FKKMAP for mapping configurations).
  Locate the specific mapping that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Review the Upper Limit Field:
  
  Check the upper limit field in the mapping configuration.
  If you find an asterisk (*) in the upper limit, replace it with a valid numeric value or remove it if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Run a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the mapping works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on mapping configurations and the expected formats for upper and lower limits.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
