1. Go to the Liquidity Management workcenter.
2. Go to the Oubound Files view.
3. Select the XXX file ID. Click on attachment Tab.
4. Open the file attached.

You will see that the file is empty.

The document is blocked in the backend. The root cause might be that the amount field is limited by a certain number of characters, which is being exceeded due to the amount containing more characters in the outbound file.

1. Go to the Business configuration.
2. Go to the Overview view.
3. Search for the Outgoing Bank Transfers Activity.
4. Click on Edit Payment File Structures.
5. Select the ABC and click Edit (ABC represents the File structure ID).
6. Go to the step 3 - Define Fields.
7. Here you can increase the Field Length. 

Once the changes are made, the document can be restarted in the backend. Please open an incident with SAP Support so they can restart it in the backend.
