Symptom
- In the "Manage Purchasing Info Records" app, an attempt to input the "Amount" field with more than 2 decimal places results in an error.
- The error message displayed is "Enter a number with a maximum of 2 decimal places."
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the "Manage Purchasing Info Record."
- Go to Amount Field.
- Enter a number with more than 2 decimal places .
- The system displays the error message "Enter a number with a maximum of 2 decimal places."
Cause
The system design only allows a maximum of 2 decimal places for the amount field.
Resolution
- Understand that the field for the net price can only be filled with 11 characters (9 digits before the decimal and 2 after) for example 000000000.00.
- Note that a larger value usually leads to an overflow error (price overflow error) as the system cannot calculate effectively above this limit, hence the error is displayed.
- To avoid this error, consider the following options:
- Reduce the related quantity.
- Split the material item into several items.
- Change the price unit of measure accordingly.
