SAP Note 18348 - Field overflow in MD01 / MD02 / MD03 / MD04 / MD05

Symptom:

Field overflow in the materials planning transactions, for example, MD04.

Cause and prerequisites

QUAN15 fields from the SD system are copied in QUAN13 fields.

Solution
The error can occur in program "SAPLM61X" in FORM routine "PRUEFEN_VBBS". Statement: MOVE VBBS-OMENG TO MDPSX-MNG01.
Here, a field overflow could occur theoretically. This, however, can always be avoided in everyday work, if the unit of measurement in Sales and Distribution and the base units of measure are set usefully.
If, for example, a material is sold in tons and scheduled in grams, the sales unit may at most be 9999 t. For 10000 t, a field overflow occurs. You should then schedule the material at least with the base unit of measure kilograms.
