1. Navigate to the Employee Cost Assignment portlet.
2. Input a decimal value in the Percentage field > Save.
3. Error message is displayed: "The percentage value for cost assignments must be a whole number between 0 and 100.".

You now have the option and flexibility to specify whether decimal values are allowed while specifying the percentages for the additional cost assignments in SAP’s Public Sector Management (PSM), Funds and Grants Management Solution. 

• If you use SAP Business Technology Platform Master Data Integration to replicate Workforce Master Data between SAP S/4HANA and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, avoid entering decimal percentages for additional cost assignments, as these values are rounded during replication.  In this case, the rounding off of these percentage values may pose a problem for your implementation of cost assignment and distribution. Therefore, SAP recommends that you do not provide decimal values for the percentages for the additional cost assignments
• If you do not use this integration and require decimals: 

1. 1. Navigate to Admin Center
   2. Go to 'Configure Public Sector Management Cost Object Assignments'
   3. Under Additional Cost Assignment checks, set 'Allow Decimal Values for Percentage during Cost' to 'Yes'
      • By default, this dropdown is set to “No”, so only whole numbers are allowed for the cost assignment percentages. However, if you change this dropdown value to “Yes”, you can provide decimal values for the percentages in the cost assignments.

• If an “Unknown property” error occurs when saving the configuration: 

1. 1. Navigate to Admin Center > OData API Metadata Refresh and Export.  
   2. Click Refresh under the Refresh Metadata section.  
   3. Attempt saving the configuration again.
