Symptom
Error message: RAISE_SHORTDUMP while adding custom fields in app Display Line Items in General Ledger
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Display Line Items in General Ledger
- Add more custom fields to display
- Error message: "Runtime Error: 'RAISE_SHORTDUMP'. The OData request processing has been abnormally terminated...."
Cause
The error is caused by the aggregation setting of the custom field with a numeric type:
- When the system performs the Sum calculation for this field, the resulting total value exceeds the field’s defined length.
- This causes an overflow error in the backend, which leads to a short dump.
Resolution
- Go to the Custom Fields app.
- Find and edit the custom field with type "Number" that is causing the error.
- In the field’s settings, change the Aggregation from Sum to Maximum or Minimum.
- Save and Publish the changes.
