• Message number: 805

• Message text: Total value is greater than in original invoice &1

What causes this issue?

You have entered a credit or discount amount in a document with a
Portuguese company code or sales organization that is higher than the
total amount of the document that you have used as a reference document.
Under Portuguese law, this is not allowed, and the system stops and
aborts the processing.

System Response

The system checks the total amount of the document that the discount or
credit amount is referenced to.
The system raises:
A warning message when the amount that exceeds the original amount is
caused by a temporary rounding difference.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If the credit or discount amount is too high and is not caused by a
rounding difference, the system will also stop and abort the processing
after a warning message.
An error message when you entered an amount that exceeds the tolerance
for the temporary rounding difference.
After an error, the system stops and aborts the processing.

How to fix this error?

If the system raises a warning message<(>,<)> you must ensure that the
credit or discount amount is not too high, before you can proceed
posting your document.
You must decrease the credit or discount amount if the value is too
high.

Procedure for System Administrators

An abort is the correct system behavior when a warning message was
confirmed by the user before posting. It means that the posting was not
legal.
The system checks the amount only when the rounding difference is
cleared. This is only possible when the document cannot be edited
anymore. The system can prevent a posting at this moment without
creating a number gap only by an abort.
