  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PFCS_MESS133 indicates that a key figure value is too large for the system to handle. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with key figures in planning books or data views.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Limitations: The key figure in question may have a defined data type that cannot accommodate the value being assigned to it. For example, if the key figure is defined as an integer and the value exceeds the maximum limit for integers, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: The key figure may be incorrectly configured in the planning book or data view, leading to inappropriate value assignments.
  Data Input Errors: There may be errors in the data input process, such as incorrect calculations or data imports that result in excessively large values.

  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Configuration: Review the configuration of the key figure in the planning book or data view. Ensure that the data type and its limits are appropriate for the expected values.
  Adjust Data Input: If the error is due to data input, check the source of the data and correct any errors that may lead to excessively large values.
  Modify Data Type: If necessary, consider changing the data type of the key figure to one that can accommodate larger values (e.g., from integer to decimal).
  Review Aggregation Logic: If the key figure is derived from other key figures, review the aggregation logic to ensure that it does not produce values that exceed the limits.
  Data Cleansing: Perform data cleansing to remove any outliers or erroneous data that may be causing the issue.
