  Use Numeric Keypad: If applicable, use the numeric keypad on your keyboard to enter values to avoid accidental non-numeric characters.
  Validation: If you are copying data from another source, paste it into a text editor first (like Notepad) to strip any formatting, then copy it from there into SAP.
  Field Help: Use the field help (F1) to understand the expected format for the input field, which can provide guidance on what is acceptable.
  Check for Leading/Trailing Spaces: Ensure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the input.
