Floating‑point arithmetic cannot precisely represent certain decimal fractions. When values are entered in these inspection plan fields, the system converts them into binary floating‑point format for database storage. As a result, the values are internally saved as close approximations rather than exact decimal representations.

This is the standard and expected behavior in SAP. The fields in question are defined with the floating‑point data type (FLTP), which by design stores and represents values differently in the database compared to transactional applications. As long as the application displays the correct values to the user, the system is functioning as intended.
