Error information: Field overflow: amount 100,000.000000 is too large for the target field (length 0008)

As per your Business Configuration settings, the length might be more or less than the amount shown in error message. Here the amount is being overfilled in the Outbound File, than its actual digits in the Business Configuration settings.

The field length for the amount needs to be increased. Please follow the below steps.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center
2. Go to the Overview sub view.
3. Search for the *Outgoing Bank Transfers* Activity.
4. Click on Edit Payment File Structures.
5. Select the File structure XYZ and click Edit ('XYZ' refers to File structure ID).
6. Go to the step 3(Define fields).
7. Under Fields, highlight the Amount.
8. The field length is 8.
9. But the actual length of the Payment amount in the Outbound File is 12 digits (100,000.000000).
10. Increase the field length for the amount and should save it.

Once the change are done from on customer side, the case has to be sent back to Support. Then we will restart the failed message from the backend.  

If the error still persists a new Outbound File should be created after the change in Business Configuration is performed.
