• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ637 - > Item split according to T042C MAXPOS is not possible ?

  The SAP error message FZ637, which states "Item split according to T042C MAXPOS is not possible," typically occurs during the processing of financial documents, particularly when dealing with invoice processing or payment transactions. This error is related to the maximum number of line items that can be split in a financial document.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the system trying to split a line item into more parts than allowed by the configuration in the T042C table. The T042C table contains settings that define the maximum number of line items (MAXPOS) that can be created for a particular document type. If the number of line items exceeds this limit, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration in T042C:
  
  Access the T042C table in the SAP system (transaction code SE16 or SE11).
  Look for the document type you are working with and check the MAXPOS field.
  If necessary, increase the MAXPOS value to allow for more line items to be split.
  
  
  
  Review the Document:
  
  Check the document you are trying to process. If it has an unusually high number of line items, consider whether it can be simplified or if the items can be grouped together to reduce the number of splits.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team. They can help you assess whether changing the MAXPOS value is appropriate for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or user exits that might affect how line items are processed, review those to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the document processing again to ensure that the error is resolved.
