3688038 - Error message RAISE_SHORTDUMP while adding Custom Fields in app Display Line Items In General Ledger - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

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

  1. Display Line Items in General Ledger
  2. Add more custom fields to display
  3. 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

  1. Go to the Custom Fields app.
  2. Find and edit the custom field with type "Number" that is causing the error.
  3. In the field’s settings, change the Aggregation from Sum to Maximum or Minimum.
  4. Save and Publish the changes.
