Check the entry. The value entered could lead to problems in subsequent
applications. Above all, problems can occur later on if the planned

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61791 - Only &2 decimal places are defined for unit of measure &1 ?

  The SAP error message 61791 indicates that there is an issue with the number of decimal places defined for a specific unit of measure (UoM) in the system. The message states that only a certain number of decimal places (in this case, 2) are allowed for the specified unit of measure.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to enter a quantity with more decimal places than what is defined for that particular unit of measure in the system.
  The unit of measure settings in the SAP system are configured to allow only a limited number of decimal places, but the input exceeds that limit.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN3 (Define Units of Measure).
  Look for the specific unit of measure (UoM) that is causing the error.
  Verify the number of decimal places defined for that UoM. If it is set to 2, you will need to ensure that any quantities entered do not exceed this limit.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Quantity Input:
  
  If you are entering a quantity, make sure to round it to the allowed number of decimal places (in this case, 2). For example, if you are trying to enter 10.123, you should change it to 10.12 or 10.13.
  
  
  
  Change the UoM Definition (if necessary):
  
  If you need to allow more decimal places for the unit of measure, you can change the configuration in the UoM settings. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorization and understanding of the implications on existing data and processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the UoM settings, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
