• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UKM_CHECK004 - Maximum document value was exceeded by & & ?

  The SAP error message UKM_CHECK004 indicates that the maximum document value has been exceeded in the context of the SAP Credit Management module (UKM stands for "Unternehmens Kredit Management" or "Corporate Credit Management"). This error typically arises when a transaction or document exceeds the predefined credit limit set for a customer or a specific transaction type.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeded Credit Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the total value of the document (e.g., sales order, delivery, invoice) exceeds the customer's credit limit as defined in the credit management settings.
  Credit Management Settings: The credit limit may be set too low for the customer's needs, or the customer's financial situation may have changed, leading to a lower credit limit.
  Multiple Documents: If multiple documents are being processed simultaneously, the cumulative value may exceed the limit even if individual documents do not.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of credit management settings, such as incorrect credit limit settings or missing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Customer Credit Limit: Check the credit limit assigned to the customer in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the customer master data (transaction code XD03 for display).
  Adjust Credit Limit: If necessary, adjust the credit limit for the customer to accommodate the transaction. This can be done in the customer master data or through the credit management settings.
  Check Document Values: Review the values of the documents being processed to ensure they are within acceptable limits. If multiple documents are being processed, consider processing them in smaller batches.
  Credit Management Configuration: Review the configuration settings for credit management in the SAP system. Ensure that the credit limits and risk categories are set appropriately.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about adjusting credit limits, consult with your finance or credit management team to ensure compliance with company policies.
