3748027 - "Entry too long" error in "Define tolerance groups for employees" configuration

Symptom

Requirement to raise tolerance limits from 99,999,999,999 to 999,999,999,999 for "Amount per document" and "Amount per open item account item" field in configuration "Define Tolerance Groups for Employees" (ID: 102832).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the configuration activity "Define Tolerance Groups for Employees" (ID: 102832).
  2. Navigate to the settings for amounts and locate "amount per open item account item".
  3. Enter a value of 999,999,999,999.
  4. Save the configuration and observe that the system returns the error "Entry too long".

Cause

The backend amount field supports a maximum of 13 digits in total (including 2 decimal places), allowing only up to 11 digits for the integer part; values exceeding this limit cause the "Entry too long" error.

Resolution

  • Maintain tolerance amounts at or below 99,999,999,999.99 to comply with the 13-digit total (11-digit integer + 2 decimals) limit.
  • If business requires posting an amount whose integer part exceeds 11 digits, split the posting into two or more items so each item remains within the allowed limit.
