When calculating, the system encounters numbers that are so large
that it is not possible to represent them in the display fields.
Check whether or not you have entered numbers that are too large: if
you have, change your input.
If the invoice actually contains such large figures, you must split
the invoice up and enter it as two (or more) documents.
