  Cause:
  
  Field Definition: The field in question has a defined number of decimal places, and the value being entered exceeds this limit.

  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definition: Review the field definition in the relevant data dictionary (DDIC) or transaction to determine the allowed number of decimal places. Adjust the input value accordingly.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in your data entry or import processes to ensure that values conform to the defined limits before submission.
  Adjust Input Values: If you are entering data manually, round the number to the allowed number of decimal places before entering it into the system.
  Modify Data Source: If the error occurs during data import, modify the source data to ensure that it complies with the decimal place restrictions of the target fields.
