  The SAP error message FVD_PAY_SUSP_REASON012 indicates that a payment transaction has been suspended due to exceeding a predefined payoff limit. This typically occurs in financial transactions where there are restrictions on the maximum amount that can be processed in a single payment.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the amount of the payment exceeds the configured payoff limit for a specific transaction or customer. This limit is often set to prevent excessive payments that could lead to financial discrepancies or fraud.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Payoff Limit Configuration:
  
  Review the payoff limit settings in the SAP system. This can usually be found in the configuration settings for the relevant financial module (e.g., Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable).
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path, which may vary based on your SAP version (e.g., SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Incoming Payments -> Define Payoff Limits).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Payoff Limit:
  
  If the current limit is too low for the transaction you are trying to process, consider increasing the limit. Ensure that this change aligns with your organization's financial policies and controls.
  
  
  
  Review the Payment Amount:
  
  Verify the payment amount being processed. If it is indeed higher than expected, check if there are any errors in the transaction that need to be corrected.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the payoff limits or if the payment amount seems correct, consult with your finance or accounting team for further guidance.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Payment:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, attempt to reprocess the payment transaction.
