SAP Note 10948 - BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW .

Symptom

Program : SAPLKASC
Run-time error "BDC_FIELD_OVERFLOW" occurs in program LKASCF00
during calculation of overheads.

Cause and prerequisites

The amount in a base line of the pricing procedure has more than eleven places: i.e., is greater than 999,999,999.99.

Solution
Divide the base line into several lines whose cost element
intervals are selected such that the total amount has less than
eleven places.

Example:

The following amounts are posted to the object that is to be given an overhead:
Cost element Amount
400000 999.999.999,99 USD
400010 999.999.999,99 USD

INCORRECT Procedure:

You have defined the following calculation base:
Calculation base B000:
From-Cost-Element To-Cost-Element
400000 400010

You use the following costing sheet:
Costing Sheet: A00000
Line Basis Overhead Description From To-line Credit
10 B000 Material 0 0
20 C000 GK-Material 10 0 E01


CORRECT Procedure:

Define the following calculation bases:
Calculation base X001:
From-Cost-Element To-Cost-Element
400000 400000

Calculation base X002:
From-Cost Element To-Cost-Element
400010 400010

Define the following costing sheet:
Costing sheet: Y00001
Line Basis Overhead Description From To-line Credit
10 X001 Material 1 0 0
15 X002 Material 2 0 0
20 C000 GK-Material 10 15 E01
