3671063 - How To Configure Decimal Places In Discount Calculations

Rounding differences in discount calculations result in incorrect discount amounts. The system rounds discount percentages to three decimal places, causing discrepancies in the expected discount amount.

• Example: For a total amount of 22,500,000 and a required discount of 14,000, the system calculates the discount as -95.173% (resulting in -14,001) or -95.172% (resulting in -13,998), neither of which achieves the required discount of 14,000.

1. Navigate to Work Center Customer Invoicing.
2. Go to Invoice Documents view and select Invoice ABC (ABC represents ID of Invoice Document).
3. Create a manual credit memo notification with a specific discount amount.
4. Enter the total amount and desired discount percentage.
5. Observe that the system rounds the discount percentage to only three decimal places. If manually enter a percentage with more than 3 decimal places, system raises error "Item XX has too many decimals; only 3 decimals permitted".

It is the designed system behavior.

If adjustments to the display decimals or calculation formula are required, submit a system change request through the Customer Influence Portal for SAP Business.
