How To Fix RE341 - Amount in document &1 &2 may not be exceeded

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RE - Earmarked funds

• Message number: 341

• Message text: Amount in document &1 &2 may not be exceeded

What causes this issue?

Earmarked funds have been entered in a different currency to the local
currency.
You want to perform an activity that would increase the amount in the
referenced earmarked funds in the earmarked funds currency. For example,
you want to post a credit memo that references a funds commitment,
although the credit memo amount would exceed all of the debits in the
funds commitment.
Since the earmarked funds currency is not the same as the local
currency, amounts may vary due to changed exchange rates. With reference
to the example, the credit memo can be posted at a different rate to the
invoice, meaning that the credit memo may exceed the value of the
original invoice.

How to fix this error?

however increase the amount in subsequent documents.
