Symptom

Environment

SAP SALES CLOUD CPQ

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Quote
  2. Set a value that contains more than 15 digits
  3. When generating Excel Document, digits after 15th will get changed to 0.

Cause

Limitation on Microsoft Excel Software.

Resolution

  • It might be used Scientific Notation;
  • Cell might be formatted as text, but it will be required to apply Excel Formulas to avoid scientific notation, such as CONCATENATE or TEXT;
    • One way to use this workaround prior to uploading document into CPQ is to create an auxiliar tab that will contain the tag that, when parsed, becomes the long number;
    • In the Main Excel Tab, where it is the table that you want to show the result of the parsed tag, uses the CONCATENATE/CONCAT formula, referencing the CTX tag from the auxiliar tab;
    • Hide the auxiliar tab so end user cannot see it.
