Hi Mani,

I dont know hw much it is useful to you but i am giving my idea.

Check in your list hw many records or there? and ur saying it is showing error as field overflow may be the total length (no of chacters) size is greater than the actual field length thats why it is showing such kind of error.suppose if your field leng is 13 chacters and after the sum it may increased to 15 chacters thats why it may showing that error.

Try to display only 5-10 records in the alv list and try to do sum and check it is giving the same error or not.

Hi manikandan,

you should have related your quantity field to a unit field. This can be done in fieldcatalog or in dictionary structure if you use one for display. Then you have separate sums for each unit key.

The sum of all values will be stored in a field with same technical characteristics as the single value field. So you may declare the quantity field longer. Or sort the tzable by quantities and see one or more too big quantities - Some people love it for testing...

You can filter them and everything is fine.

Regards,

Clemens
