<d:PersonnelNumber>00082528</d:PersonnelNumber>           
<d:Date_HCM>2026-01-05T00:00:00</d:Date_HCM>            <d:GrossCapacity>7.5</d:GrossCapacity>

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The truncation of decimal values occurs due to incorrect handling of numeric fields in the OData Service.

1. Modify the payload to include the attribute `m:type="Edm.Decimal"` for numeric fields in the OData request.
2. Update the payload structure as shown below.

    <d:GrossCapacity m:type="Edm.Decimal">7.5</d:GrossCapacity>
    <d:NetCapacity m:type="Edm.Decimal">7.5</d:NetCapacity>
