• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR075 - Field overflow calculating new retail value ?

  The SAP error message WR075 - Field overflow calculating new retail value typically occurs in the context of retail pricing and promotions within SAP Retail (IS-Retail) modules. This error indicates that during the calculation of a new retail price or value, the system encountered a numeric overflow because the result exceeded the allowed field length or value range.
  
  Cause
  
  Numeric Overflow: The calculated new retail value (price, discount, or promotion price) exceeds the maximum allowed size or precision defined in the system fields.
  Incorrect Price or Discount Input: Input values (such as base price, discount percentage, or surcharge) are too large or incorrectly maintained, leading to an overflow during calculation.
  Field Length Limitation: The data element or domain for the retail value field has a limited number of digits or decimal places, and the calculation result surpasses this limit.
  Rounding Issues: Sometimes rounding during intermediate steps can cause the value to exceed the field size.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of pricing conditions or calculation routines that do not handle large values properly.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Input Values:
  
  Verify the base prices, discounts, surcharges, and other input values used in the calculation.
  Ensure that no input value is unreasonably large or incorrectly maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions:
  
  Check the condition records and pricing procedures involved in the retail price calculation.
  Make sure that the conditions and formulas are correctly defined and do not produce excessively large values.
  
  
  
  Adjust Field Lengths (if possible):
  
  Identify the data element/domain of the retail value field causing the overflow.
  If business requirements justify it, increase the length or decimal places of the field in the data dictionary (SE11).
  Note: Changing standard SAP fields is generally not recommended and should be done with caution and proper testing.
  
  
  
  Check Rounding and Calculation Routines:
  
  Review any custom calculation routines or user exits that influence retail price calculation.
  Ensure rounding is handled properly to avoid intermediate overflow.
