• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VPKGUI100 - Amount entered exceeds open amount ?

  The SAP error message VPKGUI100: Amount entered exceeds open amount typically occurs in the context of payment processing or clearing open items in Financial Accounting (FI), especially when using the Payment Program (F110) or manual clearing transactions.
  
  Cause
  
  The amount you are trying to clear or pay exceeds the open (outstanding) amount of the invoice or open item.
  For example, if an invoice has an open amount of 1,000 and you try to enter a payment or clearing amount of 1,200, SAP will raise this error.
  This is a validation to prevent overpayment or incorrect clearing of open items.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the open amount of the invoice or open item:
  
  Use transaction FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL5N (Customer Line Item Display) to verify the open amount.
  Confirm the exact open amount before entering the payment or clearing amount.
  
  
  
  Enter an amount less than or equal to the open amount:
  
  Adjust the payment or clearing amount to not exceed the open amount.
  
  
  
  If overpayment is intended:
  
  Overpayments should be handled differently, e.g., by posting a separate payment or credit memo.
  Alternatively, configure the system to allow overpayments if business processes require it (not recommended without proper controls).
  
  
  
  Check for partial payments or previous clearing:
  
  Sometimes partial payments or previous clearing documents reduce the open amount.
  Make sure you are not duplicating payments.
  
  
  
  Review payment program parameters:
  
  If using automatic payment program (F110), check the payment proposal and parameters to ensure amounts are correct.
