Message text: Payment amount must not be smaller than the total of the amounts received
What causes this issue?
For payments that consist of only checks, payment cards, or postal
orders or a combination of these, the payment amount must not be smaller
than the amount received. In this case the system does not determine a
change amount.
For payments with a cash portion, in the case of an overpayment the
system determines a change amount.
System Response
The system refuses the payment.
How to fix this error?
If, for payments that consist of only checks, payment cards, or postal
orders or a combination of these, you want to post the overpayment on
account, for example, you have to transfer the total of the amounts
received as the payment amount (double-click on the payment amount
field). In the payment assignment (post in dialog), you can select how
much you want to clear in total. You can then post the difference on
account.
