Dear simon,

Overflow means , the field element ( data field ) could not accommodate the resultant value ,

ex : you have defined as NUM10 , means only 10 digits can be accommodate in that field and suppose value is in 11 digit , then overflow occurs.

Better to take help of ABAP er and fix the problem . you can see your dump through ST22.

Please go through SAP note 20307 which indicates there is no solution for this problem.

I am copying note for your ready reference.

Symptom

Field overflow in VA01

Field overflow field: O_UMREZ; Value; +1.0000 etc.

System message BM398.

This error always occurs when five decimal places are not sufficient when converting between the unit of measure entered and the stockkeeping unit.

Example: Stockkeeping units in grams and sales in tons. Six decimal places are needed for this conversion.

When converting between metrical and non-metrical units, see also note 23771.

Cause and prerequisites

The conversion factor is saved in the item with numerator and denominator having only five decimal places.

Solution

There is no solution at this time.
