• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QOD_MSG_COMMON001 - Attached file cannot be larger than &1 bytes ?

  The SAP error message QOD_MSG_COMMON001 indicates that an attached file exceeds the maximum allowed size for attachments in the system. The message typically states: "Attached file cannot be larger than &1 bytes," where "&1" represents the maximum file size limit set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  File Size Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the file you are trying to attach exceeds the predefined size limit set in the SAP system.
  System Configuration: The maximum file size for attachments is configured in the system settings, and it may be set to a low value, which can lead to this error when attempting to upload larger files.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Size: Verify the size of the file you are trying to attach. If it exceeds the limit, consider reducing the file size by compressing it or splitting it into smaller parts.
  Increase Attachment Size Limit: If you have the necessary permissions, you can increase the maximum file size limit in the SAP system. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., transaction codes like OAC0 for Archive Management or SICF for Internet Communication Framework).
  Modifying the settings to allow larger file uploads.
  Consulting with your SAP Basis or system administrator to ensure that changes are made in accordance with system policies and performance considerations.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If increasing the limit is not feasible, consider using alternative methods to share large files, such as:
  
  Uploading the file to a shared drive or cloud storage and providing a link in the SAP system.
  Using a different communication method to send the file.
