• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLO_FI_AE014 - The amount &1 exceeds the permissible limit ?

  The SAP error message GLO_FI_AE014, which states "The amount &1 exceeds the permissible limit," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with payment processing, invoice postings, or other financial entries. This error indicates that the amount being processed exceeds a predefined limit set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limits: The system has been configured with specific limits for certain transactions, such as payment amounts, invoice amounts, or budget limits. If the amount you are trying to post exceeds this limit, the error will be triggered.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Certain user roles may have restrictions on the maximum amount they can process. If a user attempts to process an amount beyond their authorization, this error may occur.
  Company Code Settings: Different company codes may have different limits set for financial transactions. If the transaction is being processed under a company code with a lower limit, it may trigger this error.
  Currency Conversion Issues: If the transaction involves currency conversion, the converted amount may exceed the limit even if the original amount does not.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to identify the limits set for the relevant transaction. This can typically be found in the Financial Accounting (FI) module under the relevant settings for payments or invoices.
  Adjust Limits: If appropriate, adjust the permissible limits in the configuration to allow for higher amounts. This should be done in consultation with relevant stakeholders to ensure compliance with financial policies.
  User Authorization Review: Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user attempting the transaction has the necessary permissions to process the amount. If not, consider adjusting their role or having a user with the appropriate permissions perform the transaction.
  Consult with Finance Team: If the limits are set for compliance or regulatory reasons, consult with the finance or compliance team to understand the rationale behind the limits and whether they can be adjusted.
  Review Currency Settings: If currency conversion is involved, ensure that the conversion rates are correct and that the limits are set considering the converted amounts.
