3546932 - Decimal Places are Not Permitted in alternative unit of measure - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When entering an alternative Unit of Measure with decimal quantity, the system displays the following Error Message "Enter a number without decimals.".

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open App Manage product master data
  2. Enter the product number
  3. Select the Unit of measure tab
  4. Enter the Unit/Quantity field for alternate unit of measure with decimal places

Cause

As per SAP Standard only whole numbers can entered as the standard fields SMEINH-UMREZ & SMEINH-UMREN decimal places are set as zero.

Resolution

Enter only whole numbers in the numerator and denominator fields; that is, if 3.14 m² correspond to one piece, you must enter integer multiples (314 m² = 100 PC).

In this case, the quotient is therefore 100/314 (the numerator being 100 and the denominator 314).
