  • 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.
