• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P9213 - Payment amount exceeds the house bank limit ?

  The SAP error message P9213, which states "Payment amount exceeds the house bank limit," typically occurs when a payment transaction exceeds the predefined limit set for a specific house bank in the SAP system. This limit is established to control the amount of money that can be processed through a particular bank account, ensuring that the organization does not exceed its financial limits or risk overdrafts.
  Cause:
  
  House Bank Limit Configuration: The limit for the house bank has been set lower than the payment amount being processed.
