Data Overflow when creating PO

[Former Member]

Hi

We are in SRM 3.0 Classic Scenarion.

The issue is that whenever the ordered quantity if more than 3.5 million each, the buyer is not able to create the PO.On debugging, we found that there is some data overflow happening at the interface level.The details are follows:

Runtime Error BCD_OVERFLOW

Exception CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW

Occurred on 05.06.2007 at 09:05:52

Overflow during an arithmetic operation (type P) in program "SAPLMEPO".

-

---

What happened?

-

---

Error in ABAP application program.

The current ABAP program "SAPLMEPO" had to be terminated because one of the

statements could not be executed.

This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.

A value is too long for a calculation field.

Is there a corrective action for this? We are in process of upgrade to SRM4.0 with go live in couple of weeks.

With Regards

Hi,

This is happen when quantity is greater than assigned field.

"<i>The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Wrong length specification in declaration.

The permitted lengths depend on the type to which you are referring:

Type Permitted length

C 1 - 65535

N 1 - 65535

P 1 - 16

X 1 - 65535

</i>"

Type P has permitted lenght to 16 numbers. Check quantity Data Type and lenght.
