In ECM, the compensation planning iView, we get a runtime error when trying to apply a percentage adjustment to salary. Here is the error message. We're on ECC 6 EHP4, NW 7 EHP1.
Runtime Errors COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW
Exception CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW

Overflow during the arithmetical operation (type P) in program "SAPLPARA".

try to identify the record causing the overflow....my guess is that it's a large number maybe in a currency which does not use decimal points, eg JPY
Also what was the % increase? Perhaps that was unusually large too.

we're only using USD. Also, the % is 2, 3, or 4 %. We also tried entering 4.00 and that bombed.

what is the source data value that is causing the overflow? Maybe the data is corrupted some how so that the salary figure is unexpectedly high....or maybe it's the CEO's wages!!
