Above maximum limit
DOC text
Payment on this record has rejected as it exceeds the system limit. This is not a returned payment from a financial institution. Please check the calculation of the payment to ensure that it is accurate. If this payment is correct, you should reissue the payment by placing an R next to it on the PS screen and you will then be presented with the RDRP screen. If the Reissue All option is not available, you will need to page down or select next page until it is. Then enter Y in this field, fill all other fields and hit enter. You will then be prompted to confirm. You will not need to enter an amount, simply reissue the entire payment and the system will split it into smaller components that it can handle. If the customer is not entitled to the payment, it must be blocked to prevent it being reissued. Please follow Operational Blueprint process or if you require assistance in determining the correctness of the payment, please seek support from your Local Peer Support (LPS).
