We will use Service Order as example.

2. Choose the Service Orders Processing view.

8. Select the Add Row button and enter product EFG (EFG represent the product number).
9. Enter 1,23 in the Quantity field  (1,23 represents the Quantity).
10. Click the Save button.
11. When saving Service Order ABC error message occurs: Item XX: Quantity 1,23 ea has too many decimals; only 0 decimal(s) permitted

The error could be caused by either:

1. The error message occurs because the field Display Decimals of the Trading Unit of Measure activity is not maintained in Fine Tuning and you have used the decimal 1,23.

A Trading Unit of Measure is a quantity that you can define to simplify business processes. Examples would be Crate, Box, and Each.

Note:This error is valid for all Transactional Documents like Sales Order, Outbound Delivery, Return delivery, Inbound Delivery etc.

2. The Cost Unit in the Validtion tab of the Product Master Data for the Company/Business Recidence is 1,23

This is the expected system behavior.

To maintain the field Display Decimals of the Trading Unit of Measure activity you can use the following steps:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Choose the Implementation Projects view.
3. Select your implementation project from the list.
4. Click the Open Activity List button.
5. Select the Fine –Tune tab.
6. Show All Activities and click the Go button.
7. Select the Quantities and Units of Measure activity.
8. Click the Open button.
9. Select the Create and Maintain Trading Units hyperlink.
10. Select the Line Item containing your Unit. (Ea in our example).
11. Maintain the respective decimals in the field of the column Display decimals.
12. Save changes.

Error message doesn't occur when saving.

Or alternatively enter a quantity without decimals in case of 1. for the item and in case of 2 for the Cost Unit in the Product Master Data.
