• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKXI_MAP017 - Upper limit contains an asterisk (*) ?

  The SAP error message FKKXI_MAP017 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of a value in the context of the SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC) or SAP Convergent Invoicing (SAP CI) module. Specifically, the error message states that the "Upper limit contains an asterisk (*)", which typically means that the system is encountering a problem with the way limits are defined in a mapping or configuration.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The upper limit of a mapping or a condition is defined with an asterisk (*), which is not allowed in this context. An asterisk is often used as a wildcard in other contexts, but in this case, it is not a valid character for defining numerical limits.
  Data Entry Error: During the configuration or data entry process, an asterisk may have been mistakenly entered instead of a valid numerical value.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings where the error is occurring. Look for any mappings or conditions that have an upper limit defined with an asterisk.
  Correct the Value: Replace the asterisk with a valid numerical value that represents the upper limit. Ensure that the value is appropriate for the context in which it is being used.
  Validation: After making the changes, validate the configuration to ensure that there are no other errors present.
  Testing: Perform a test transaction or process to confirm that the error has been resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
